2021 I switch from online to dwnlded windows version. 2022 online again. TT using online 2021 info thats not accurate. How can I switch to version saved on my computer.

Now that i am doing my 2022 taxes TT is automatically using the info from the 2021 online data i entered before switching to the downloaded version.  i had to switch bc i waited until 2023 to finish my 2021 taxes and TT wouldn't allow me to continue online and i had to correct some details that make the online data incorrect.

You can Transfer the prior year from the Desktop program into the current Online versions.  You need to have the file ending in .tax2021 on your computer.  So be sure you know where it is.  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 3rd blue link if you used the CD/download last year........
