Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have a copy of your 2016 Online return in .tax2016 data file format, just follow the first set of instructions above.

If you don't, use this workaround:

  1. Go to TurboTax and start a 2017 Online return using the same login you used last year. This will transfer your 2016 data over.
  2. After the screen has loaded, select the Tax Tools drop-down menu in the left-hand column, and then select Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window, select the Save your return to your computer.

Now, open the .tax2017 file (which contains the transferred 2016 info) in TurboTax for Windows:

  1. Open your TurboTax 2017 program.
  2. From the File menu, select Open Tax Return.
