Why Interactive Brokers 1099-Bs Don't Import Cleanly Into Excel / Google Sheets
Every broker formats their 1099-B differently. Here's what trips up Excel / Google Sheets users with Interactive Brokers statements.
Interactive Brokers' Consolidated 1099 is one of the most complex in the industry, with separate sections for equities, options, futures, forex, and bonds.
Multi-currency trades require translation to USD and are presented in both source and reporting currency.
IBKR's Activity Statement and 1099-B don't match line-by-line because of T+2 settlement and intra-month FX.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work for Interactive Brokers?
Yes. Our AI extractor reads every text-based 1099-B PDF from Interactive Brokers, including consolidated statements with multiple sections, and outputs a CSV file formatted for Excel / Google Sheets.
How is this different from Excel / Google Sheets's built-in Interactive Brokers import?
Direct broker imports often fail with 100+ transactions, miss wash sale adjustments, or refuse to load consolidated statements. We bypass that by reading the PDF directly and producing a clean CSV file.
Is my data secure?
Your PDF is processed in memory and immediately deleted. The extracted text is sent to our AI service over an encrypted connection. No files or financial data are stored after your session ends.
What does it cost?
Free for your first 3 conversions per month. CSV downloads (which Excel and Google Sheets read natively) are always free.
What about wash sales and adjusted cost basis?
We extract wash sale loss disallowed amounts and adjusted cost basis exactly as reported on your Interactive Brokers 1099-B. The output file preserves these adjustments so Excel / Google Sheets handles Form 8949 correctly.
