Ok ... if you used the 2018 ONLINE version then you must start the 2019 return just long enough to register the account ... then you have 2 options... either way will pull thru the prior year info ... then make sure to correct the SS issue in the MY INFO tab.
1) download the .tax2019 file and OPEN it in the 2019 Downloaded version
2) download the .tax 2018 file and transfer it into the 2019 Downloaded version
How do I access a prior year return?
You’ll need to register first if you don’t already have access to your prior year returns under Your tax returns & documents as you sign in to TurboTax.
Before starting, make sure you’re using the same TurboTax account (with the same username) as previous years.
To access:
- Choose TurboTax Free Edition when starting if you haven't already done so.
- Follow the screens and provide some personal info.
- When you’ve reached the Personal info summary screen, select Continue.
- Then, select File in the left-hand menu (this is just a step in order to register, you won’t actually be filing).
- Continue until you get to Review your order and select Start.
- Select View payment options.
- Then continue until you get to the registration screen.
- Enter your info and select Register, then Continue.
- Go to Tax Home in the left-hand menu.
- Under Your tax returns & documents, go to Download/print return (PDF) (select Show if not visible).
