I have the 2017 S corporation tax file. I have bought the 2018 business , on a Diskette. What is the best way to transfer the 2017 basic information to 2018 file?

"What is the best way to transfer the 2017 basic information to 2018 file?"

First of all, 2018 TurboTax Business is not sold on a diskette (either CD or download).

Regardless, you simply need to install the 2018 program, locate your 2017 .tax file (*.tax2017), and transfer that into your 2018 TurboTax Business program (see screenshot).
