Thanks for your reply. I've already done this. I downloaded the 2019 .tax file from turbo tax online but when I open it in the desktop software on my mac it is blank.
What are you needing to do with the *.tax2019 data file in your desktop software? Are you needing to finish an unfiled 2019 return, or are you needing to amend a 2019 return, or are you referring to 2020 software and need to transfer the 2019 data file into a new 2020 return?
I assume you have the 2019 desktop software installed on your Mac since you used the term "open" the file. It can only be "opened" in 2019 software. Was the *.tax2019 data file downloaded from the same online account in which you can view the 2019 PDF of your return? Did you access the PDF and tax data file during the same log-in, or on separate occasions? A blank *.tax2019 data file makes me wonder if you might have 2 different online accounts.
