No. Returns prepared using desktop software are not stored online. They are stored on your own hard drive and/or any other backup device you used like a flash drive or external hard drive.

You can Transfer the prior year from the Desktop program into the current Online versions. You need to have the .tax2018 file on your computer. But if you already started an online return you will have to clear it out and start over or set up a new online account. How to clear and start over

How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue 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 .tax2019 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.

Thanks for the clarity - it makes no sense to me, however, why TT wouldn't offer this up as a feature/option....
