I used cd’s for returns up until 2 years ago. The info is on my computer, but would like to send to TurboTax to save space. Any ideas? Thanks

You cannot upload anything into the TT Online system.  If you don't want to keep the program on the hard drive then you can remove it if you wish however you NEED to save a PDF and .taxfile of each year's return before you do so.  Save these files to a thumb drive for safekeeping. 

It's always a good idea to make a backup copy of your tax data file, in case your original gets lost or corrupted. Here's how:

1. From the File menu in the upper-left corner of TurboTax, choose Save As (Windows) or Save (Mac).
2. Browse to where you want to save your backup.
   • Tip: If you're saving to a portable device, save it to your computer first to prevent data corruption. Then, after completing Step 4, copy or move the backup file to your device.
3. In the File name field, enter a name that will distinguish it from the original tax file (for example, add "Backup" or "Copy" to the file name)
4. Click Save and then close TurboTax.
5. Restart TurboTax and open the backup copy to make sure it's not corrupted. If you get an error, delete the backup and repeat these steps.

If you make changes to your original tax return file, repeat these steps to ensure your original and backup copies are in-synch.

Sorry    returns prepared using the CD/down load are only stored on your own haard drive or any back up  device you used.  They cannot be stored online with TurboTax.

You cannot upload any type executable program files which are what is taking up space on your computer's hard drive.  The TurboTax documents and tax data files are only about 3Mb or less each.

TurboTax has a feature called My Docs where you can upload documents to store online.  However you have to use one of the paid TurboTax online editions to get access to My Docs.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for My Docs - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/small-business-processes/docstm/L0VlCWX5...
