I need clarification on this answer. I need to enter my 2018 tax return so the loss from last year carries forward into my 2019 tax return. Will I need to purchase both 2018 and 2019 versions of Turbotax? Also the answer mentioned purchasing a desktop version of 2018. What is a desktop version? I only have a laptop. Will this work? - Thank you, Kim
Yes, you will need to purchase both the 2018 and 2019 TurboTax program. Each tax year is a separate program.
Desktop just means a personal computer, not a mobile device. The 2018 software can be installed on a laptop computer.
Use these TurboTax support FAQ's for the minimum system requirements for either a Windows or Mac computer -

To complete a 2018 tax return using TurboTax you will need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2018 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.
Go to this TurboTax website for the 2019 desktop CD/Download editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/
A 2019 tax return can either be e-filed or printed and mailed.
