FAQs-
Why is Turbotax asking me to review all transactions? (US)
A review will appear from any source added to TurboTax (both OAuth and CSV) not only Zenledger. Users can skip the review section by selecting Continue without reviewing.
2. Why aggregated CSV?
TurboTax has limits on the numbers of transactions it can import, if it is more than their set number, we aggregate the file for the user.
