I have used Turbo Tax for the last 10 years. Every year I save the return to a file on my computer and print a pdf copy. However, 2020 I somehow only saved and printed a pdf copy. My Turbo Tax for 2020 is not on my computer. Is there a way to convert my pdf file into something that can be used when I begin filing my 2021 return? Can I scan it? Do I need to scan federal in one file and state in a separate file or can I scan both in the same file?
Because I have the printed Turbo Tax return for 2020, could reenter the data, but I wanted to lessen the possibility of errors. Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, you can transfer a PDF of your 2020 tax return prepared with TurboTax software into your 2021 return. Please see the below help article for instructions.

Great answer! However, I do have a small question. I will need to scan to a PDF, will that make a difference?
Thank you.
That will not make a difference. It would still allow for the transfer.
