Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP

Trying to import data into Azure. Created a text file in Management Studio 2005. I have tried both a comma and tab delimited text file.

BCP IN -c -t, -r\n -U -S -P I get the error {SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data file

Here is the script I used to create the file:

 SELECT top 10  [Id]
      ,[RecordId]
      ,[PracticeId]
      ,[MonthEndId]
      ,ISNULL(CAST(InvoiceItemId AS VARCHAR(50)),'') AS InvoiceItemId
      ,[Date]
      ,[Number]
      ,[RecordTypeId]
      ,[LedgerTypeId]
      ,[TargetLedgerTypeId]
      ,ISNULL(CAST(Tax1Id as varchar(50)),'')AS Tax1Id
      ,[Tax1Exempt]
      ,[Tax1Total]
      ,[Tax1Exemption]
      ,ISNULL(CAST([Tax2Id] AS VARCHAR(50)),'') AS Tax2Id
      ,[Tax2Exempt]
      ,[Tax2Total]
      ,[Tax2Exemption]
      ,[TotalTaxable]
      ,[TotalTax]
      ,[TotalWithTax]
      ,[Unassigned]
      ,ISNULL(CAST([ReversingTypeId] AS VARCHAR(50)),'') AS ReversingTypeId
      ,[IncludeAccrualDoctor]
      ,12 AS InstanceId
  FROM <table>

Here is the table it is inserted into

CREATE TABLE [WS].[ARFinancialRecord](
    [Id] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [RecordId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [PracticeId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [MonthEndId] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
    [InvoiceItemId] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
    [Date] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,
    [Number] [varchar](17) NOT NULL,
    [RecordTypeId] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
    [LedgerTypeId] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
    [TargetLedgerTypeId] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
    [Tax1Id] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
    [Tax1Exempt] [bit] NOT NULL,
    [Tax1Total] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [Tax1Exemption] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [Tax2Id] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
    [Tax2Exempt] [bit] NOT NULL,
    [Tax2Total] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [Tax2Exemption] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [TotalTaxable] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [TotalTax] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [TotalWithTax] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [Unassigned] [decimal](30, 8) NOT NULL,
    [ReversingTypeId] [tinyint] NULL,
    [IncludeAccrualDoctor] [bit] NOT NULL,
    [InstanceId] [tinyint] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_ARFinancialRecord] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [Id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
)

There are actually several hundred thousand actual records and I have done this from a different server, the only difference being the version of management studio.

If the file is tab-delimited then the command line flag for the column separator should be -t\t -t,
