In 2018 I used Turbo Tax Home and Business. It automatically downloaded my 2017 tax information onto my 2018 return. This year I again purchased Home and Business and it did not automatically transfer the information. I tried to download it from my 2018 software, but the dropdown menu did not have the list of files you can download any more. I signed into Turbo Tax and they said I didn't submit my taxes with Turbo Tax last year. Meanwhile, the 2018 software is on the computer, I received my tax refund for 2018 after filling electronically from Turbo Tax, and I have a printed copy of my final tax return. Given that I spent a substantial amount on this software, I am irked that I can't download the information automatically. Is there a way?
Do you still have the *.tax2018 data file on your computer? Search your entire system and any backup media you may have used. Whether or not the 2018 software is still on your computer is irrelevant. You must have the *.tax2018 data file. If/when you find that data file, we can tell you how to transfer it into a new blank 2019 return. Are you using a Windows PC or a MAC?

That's normal. Online TurboTax will have no idea if you used the CD/download product last year.
