It came to my attention that combination in headline might cause be problems at tax time(TurboTax).

    The summary from Copilot (my apologies, but this is more succinct then what I'm capable of)

    E*TRADE does not treat VUSXX as a native fund.

    It treats it as a foreign/guest asset.

    Because of this:

    E*TRADE’s 1099‑DIV does not include the required Treasury breakdown

    TurboTax cannot recognize VUSXX as a Treasury MMF

    TurboTax assumes the dividends are 100% taxable in NJ

    You cannot simply “check a box” to fix it

    You must delete the imported 1099 and rebuild it manually

    New Jersey has special rules for Treasury income:

    NJ does not automatically exempt Treasury interest

    NJ requires a manual adjustment on Form NJ‑1040

    NJ often requests supporting documentation

    NJ sometimes asks for quarterly compliance test results

    NJ sometimes asks for fund‑level USGO % proof

    At Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity — TurboTax handles this automatically.

    At E*TRADE — you must do all of this manually.

    My question. Is all of the above correct as I would then want to sell VUSXX and move the money to either Charles Schwab SNSXX or Fidelity FDLXX and THEN have all of that handle Correctly (as per the bolded line) by TurboTax. Versus going trough the above head ache with Etrade and TurboTax no understanding each other.

    thank you

    Is VUSXX+Etrade+NJ a bad combination?
