TXF Reader can combine TXF (Tax eXchange Format) records and generate Form 1040 Schedule D reports (Form 1040) directly. You can also convert TXF files to CSV (Comma Delimited) files. The converted CSV files can be imported into a spreadsheet application (e.g., MS Excel) for the purpose of tracking transactions or filing tax returns.
Choose 'TXF' as the new file format. Click on the drop-down menu under 'Step 2' on Zamzar. Scroll down and select the 'TXF' option. TurboTax cannot open PDF files directly, so you must first convert to 'TXF' format. If you should need additional assistance while retrieving your.CSV file from the broker, please contact their support department for further information. You should compare the CSV or Excel file you obtain from your broker with the information that was reported to you on Form 1099-B.
In general, tax preparation software such as TurboTax and TaxCut has a limit on the total number of records imported from a TXF file. For example, you can not import more than 3,000 TXF records into TurboTax. If you are an active investor and have more than 3,000 transaction records, you may consider buying TXF Reader to reduce the total number of transaction records and generate a smaller TXF file for import into tax preparation software. The reduction is done by combining multiple gain/loss record of the same security symbol, of the same acquired date and of the same sold date into one.
