For the past several years, I have used TurboTax premier online to prepare by taxes. This year I purchased the download version of Premier from Amazon. When I open the downloaded application to start 2021 taxes, I am asked if I want to transfer 2020 tax information into this year's return. This is the main reason I continue to use TurboTax, so naturally the answer is yes. I have last year's return stored on my computer as a pdf file. When I try to upload this file to the 2021 downloaded application, I get an error message "This import was unsuccessful". I tried downloading a fresh pdf copy of my 2020 return and still got the error message. As I read more about this, I suspect I need to transfer a ".tax2020" version of last year's return rather than a pdf version. However, I cannot find such a version in the documents on my Intuit account or on my computer hard drive. Is there any way I can use a TurboTax-generated pdf file to make this transfer?
