Turbotax software question

I just bought and installed turbotax from Costco website. I have been using Turbotax website e-file before(I spent around $138 last year for Premier), which is more expensive than software. It costs less than $70 on Costco website, so I decide to use Turbotax from now on.

 

Question: I downloaded TurboTaxReturn.tax2021 and 2021_TaxReturn.pdf, when I start a new return, and I browse TurboTaxReturn.tax2021, and it will import personal information from previous year. Does it import carryover loss from previous year? Do I need 2021_TaxReturn.pdf? I saw from a post somewhere that I need both TurboTaxReturn.tax2021 and 2021_TaxReturn.pdf, but I don't see how to use both files. Since when it only allows me to browse one file when starting a new return.

 

I am still waiting for tax forms, and have not really started the return form yet, just want to figure out how turbotax software works.

 

Thanks.
