What does ‘Failed to Connect’ Error mean?

If you're seeing a “Failed to Connect” error while trying to link your broker’s account, it usually indicates a temporary issue—either due to downtime on the broker’s platform or a timeout during the connection process.

Common Reasons for This Error

  • Downtime or maintenance on the broker’s platform
  • Connection or request timeout

Step to Fix the Error

1. Uninstall the Broker Integration

  • Go to My Profile > My Apps Store

  • Select the broker account showing the error

  • Click Uninstall to remove the integration

2. Reconnect the Broker

  • Navigate to Capital Gains or Business & Profession
  • Choose the same broker and click on Connect
  • Log in using your broker credentials

3. Allow Time for Sync
