Amended 2016 return filed originally by H&R Block

My 2016 tax return was filed through H&R Block (first, time I used them - BIG MISTAKE). They completed screwed up a number of things, most particularly the methodology of a number of depreciated items from prior years, plus some other things. I want to be able to download a PDF copy of that return into the TurboTax 2016 desktop for Mac that I purchased so that I can then file an amended return. Is there any way to pull in the 2016 file into the 2016 TT version?

Maybe.

You can transfer the 2016 pdf file to TurboTaxOnline, then save that tax file to your computer. Then open the tax file in the 2016 software to amend. Worth a try.

Can I transfer from a PDF to TurboTax Online?

Could you walk me through this or provide more specific info? I have always used Turbotax desktop/cd but then last year asked H&R Block to review and they said there were some mistakes. So H&R prepared amended returns fro 2019, 2018, and 2017. But I would still like to use TT desktop/cd for 2020.

So would I just take the H&R Block 2019 1040-X amended PDF, put that into TurbotaxOnline, then save that tax file to my computer.? Then open that tax file in my 2019 software? Keep in mind, I already have a 2019 file from when I used Turbotax desktop/cd last year.

Would I need to do that for 2018 and 2017 as well or could ignore as I really am just trying to get all info (including amended) into a form that can transfer into Turbotax desktop/cd for 2020.

You won't be able to enter a 1040X into the 2019 TurboTax online as it no longer open. Please see this TurboTax FAQ on how to transfer a 2019 1040 into a desktop version of TurboTax: Can I transfer last year's PDF into the 2020 TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software?
