Why tastytrade 1099-Bs Don't Import Cleanly Into TaxAct
Every broker formats their 1099-B differently. Here's what trips up TaxAct users with tastytrade statements.
A tastytrade Consolidated 1099 carries equities and equity options alongside a separate Section 1256 section for futures and broad-based index options like SPX and NDX.
Direct imports populate the Form 8949 side and typically leave Form 6781 empty, so the 60/40 Section 1256 split is silently missed — or double-entered by hand afterward.
Option-heavy accounts commonly run into the thousands of rows, past the point where a direct import completes.
How it works
From a PDF nobody can import
to a file that just works
Your broker prints transactions for humans to read. Tax software wants columns. We read every line — including VARIOUS dates, wash sales and missing cost basis — and hand back the columns.
AI reads
every line
~30 seconds
AI reads every line — about 30 seconds from upload to download.
Your tax documents
A 1099-B is not a file you hand over lightly
It carries your account numbers, every position you held, and what you made or lost on each one. Here is exactly what we do with it — and what we never do.
Your PDF is deleted, not stored
We pull the transactions out and delete the original file as soon as the conversion finishes. It is never archived, never backed up, and never sits on a server waiting for someone to find it.
We never ask for your brokerage login
Auto-import tools want your username and password. We only need the PDF your broker already sent you. Your credentials stay with you, and every upload and download travels over an encrypted connection.
Kept in the United States, then deleted
Our servers and database are located in the United States. Your extracted transactions stay available for 90 days so you can re-download them in any format, then are deleted automatically. You can delete a conversion yourself at any time.
Never used to train AI, never read by a person
Extraction is fully automated under commercial API terms that exclude your data from AI model training. No employee, contractor, or operator opens your 1099-B or reads your trades. We do not sell or share your financial data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work for tastytrade?
Yes. Our AI extractor reads every text-based 1099-B PDF from tastytrade, including consolidated statements with multiple sections, and outputs a CSV file formatted for TaxAct.
How is this different from TaxAct's built-in tastytrade 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 deleted as soon as the conversion finishes — it is never archived. The extracted transactions stay in your account for 90 days so you can re-download them, then are deleted automatically. We never ask for your brokerage login, nothing is used to train AI models, and no one reads your trades.
What does it cost?
Uploading and previewing your results (summary totals plus the first 10 transactions) is free. To download the CSV file for TaxAct — or any other format — is a one-time $8.99 per conversion. No subscription.
What about wash sales and adjusted cost basis?
We extract wash sale loss disallowed amounts and adjusted cost basis exactly as reported on your tastytrade 1099-B. The output file preserves these adjustments so TaxAct handles Form 8949 correctly.
