I have last year’s -(2018) taxes on my computer. I started my 2019 tax return and the program asked me something like: “would you like to load last year’s information. I said yes and it loaded all my info from 2018. I began filling out the return and got to a point where I wanted to stop. I couldn’t find a “stop and save file” prompt so I hit “delete", thinking such a prompt would show up there. No such prompt appeared. Instead it just deleted the program. When I went back in there was no request about transferring data and there was no data entered. I confirmed that my 2018 return info was still on my computer, but I couldn’t figure out how to enter it into my 2019 Turbotax program. When I went to the start a new return button, the 2019 program started asking me all the questions necessary for my “personal information” including if I wanted to file jointly with my wife. Is there some way I can reload the 2018 info? What did I do to have that option disappear?
TurboTax save on a Mac it the same as other Mac applications - Top menu bar -> File -> Save (or the "command" key and "S" key).
Importing from the prior years return can only be done as the first step in a new tax return. Use Top menu bar -> File -> New Tax Return. After the "Begin" screen yiu should be asked to choose last years tax return to import.
