Tax Year Prior to 2020: 2018 tax information is not self populating into 2019

[Critter]

It's easy to transfer last year's return and depending on your situation, the transfer could be:

• Automatic—which will transfer all of your info without you having to do anything extra.
• Or from a PDF—which will transfer your personal info and your AGI to give you a head start.
• Or from a .tax file—which will transfer all of your info in a few short steps.

Select your situation below.

If you used TurboTax Online last year

All you need to do is sign in with the same login you used last year, and we'll transfer your information over.

You have to be in exactly the same account with the same user ID to transfer 2018 to 2019, and you have to do that transfer before you start entering any 2019 data.
