While waiting for macuser_22 to assist you, please clarify exactly how you were doing it.  Did you follow these steps in the FAQ below when you started the new return the second time?    The FAQ tells how one can transfer a 2018 return into a new 2019 return on a Mac.   When you follow all the steps in the FAQ below, do you see the option "Use a tax return that's on my computer?"

If those are the exact steps you tried, but you didn't encounter the "Use a tax return that's on my computer"  then we'll have to wait for macuser_22 to help here.
