SAN JOSE, Calif., (April 12) Technology Credit Union, announces that through Teknowledge Corporation, a provider of advanced software and services to financial institutions, and through its support of TurboTax, a software- and web-based product made by Intuit, now allows for its members to instantly import their 1099 (dividend interest) and 1098 (mortgage interest) directly into TurboTax without the need of manual input.
“We’re very excited to offer this to our members,” says Michael Luckin, Senior Vice President of Delivery Systems. “We’re also very proud to announce that Technology Credit Union is one of only two financial institutions to provide 1098 downloads of both first mortgage interest and home equity line interest. Even better, it’s very simple to use.”
To use this feature, Technology Credit Union members simply click on the TurboTax logo located on the credit union’s newly designed website. When the member arrives at the section in the TurboTax system, which requires dividend interest and/or mortgage interest information, they enter their Tech CU member number and Online Banking personal identification number. Once this information is entered, the software automatically fills in the required data.
States Luckin, “As a financial provider for Silicon Valley professionals, our members expect the latest and greatest technology from us. TurboTax direct download is just one way Tech CU is endeavoring to fulfill their expectations.”
