Based on the replies I'm getting apparently I asked the wrong question. It is true as some of you have said that importing or transferring from a PDF file is not worth your time, but you have no choice if you are trying to switch to Turbotax from a competitor and even then it's not worth your time. The real issue is why doesn't Turbotax support importing/transferring your previous year's tax return from a competitor product's tax file (H&R Block in my case, or TaxAct for that matter)? H&R Block is more than happy to import your tax information from a TurboTax file, but it seems that Intuit doesn't want to make it easy for people to move from their competition. What kind of marketing approach is that, but I digress? It appears to me that Intuit is using false advertising to attract clients of their competitors by claiming that Turbotax will import your tax information from H&R Block and Tax Act. Almost nothing could be further from the truth. Of course this question would be best addressed to someone at Intuit, but I don't see a way to contact anyone there unless I want to spend an unknown amount of time the telephone and I'm not optimistic that I could find anyone that could answer my question anyway. Any suggestions on how to do that would be helpful. In the meantime it looks like I've got some typing ahead of me. Thanks for your help.
