I use the Mac desktop/download version only for my taxes and did not log in while registering the software. When I log in for the fun of it on the web or on my iPhone and iPad, it proceeds to “We’re saving you time and improving accuracy by pulling all of last year’s info…” I don’t know what’s going on here. I did efile of course last year, but am not aware the return is stored on a server. On my iPad, Turbotax is offering “Your tax returns and documents: Amend (change) 2018 return, Download/print return (PDF), My Docs”. I haven’t accepted any of these and don’t know what’s inside.
Online TurboTax would know absolutely nothing about any 2018 return prepared in desktop software. They are not automatically sync'd in any way. And prior desktop returns are not available online.
Did you happen to "look" at Online TurboTax last year and preliminarily start a 2018 return, just like you may have now apparently started a 2019 return online?
In that same section (Your Tax Returns & Documents) where you saw those options above, what is shown for "status?"
No one is going to know anything about what's in your 2018 PDF. You can view the 2018 PDF to see if you recognize the info.
