Prior year return info

I would like to use the online version of Turbtax this year; however I have used the Windows version in prior years. Will I be able to download the 2021 tax info into the on version?

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version. You need to have the prior year .tax2020 or .tax2021 file on your computer. Expand the link if you used the CD/download last year........

If you used the Desktop program before you may not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2021 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.
