Why Schwab 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 Charles Schwab statements.
Schwab's consolidated 1099 mixes covered and non-covered lots in the same table, breaking direct imports into tax software.
Wash sale loss disallowed amounts appear as footnoted adjustments instead of inline columns.
TD Ameritrade legacy accounts (acquired by Schwab) export with a different column order than native Schwab statements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work for Charles Schwab?
Yes. Our AI extractor reads every text-based 1099-B PDF from Charles Schwab, 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 Schwab 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 Charles Schwab 1099-B. The output file preserves these adjustments so Excel / Google Sheets handles Form 8949 correctly.
