After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return .tax file is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW).

Worked like a charm! Now, once I finish up on the desktop app, how do I make sure that my documents are still there when it is time for file next year? I save the .tax2020 file, can I just upload it on the website somehow?
Thanks!
No. But next year if you use the Online version you just log into the same account and it will transfer from the online version. Or you can transfer from the .tax2020 file you downloaded into the Desktop program next year.
