How do I save my tax return on this site if I purchased the program from the store and saved it on my computer

When using TurboTax Desktop, which is the program running on your computer, your tax data is saved in a file with a name ending with .tax2015   - for your tax year 2015 return. So first, you will need to locate this file on your computer. 

TurboTax Online, the web site, will allow you to load your 2015 tax file to get you started with your 2016 taxes. The information below provides instructions for doing so. Scroll down to the If you used TurboTax CD/Download last year and you're using TurboTax Online this year section of the document.
