Which of these are you wanting to do?

Are you wanting to download a current 2020 tax data file that you've been working on in Online TurboTax and continue it in the 2020 desktop software on your computer?

Or are you wanting to download a *.tax2019 data file from Online TurboTax to transfer 2019 data into a new 2020 return in the desktop software?
