Yes, if you used TurboTax last year and you saved the .tax2016 file to your computer you can easily transfer your information over to your 2017 return.

All of your personal information, dependent information, W-2 employer information, etc. will transfer over so all you have to do is enter your 2017 numbers.

If you did not use TurboTax last year you can still import some of your information from a PDF file. Please see this link for instructions on transferring your data into your 2017 return: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301662
