How do I transfer what I already entered for the current tax year on turbotax.com to the software program?

The software program was gifted to me and I do not want to have to re enter the data.

After you install the TurboTax software on your personal computer, you start the program and then click on File at the top left of the desktop program screen.  Click on Open Tax Return.  The software will look for the tax data file you downloaded from the online edition.  If not found then you can browse to the location where you downloaded the file.
