Recommendation

We recommend that you download realized gain/loss data from E*Trade to generate TXF files. After generating a .txf file, please verify your Total Long-Term Gain/(Loss) and Total Short-Term Gain/(Loss). If the two figures match those in your download data, you have successfully converted your trade data to TXF file which can be correctly imported into tax software TurboTax and TaxCut.
