How can I download the information I have put in for my 2019 to then upload to the desktop version?

You can download your 2019 Online return as a .tax file to open in your desktop software.

 

I want to use the TurboTax CD/Download software to continue my 2019 return

  1. Sign in and open or continue your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools and then Tools from the left menu (on mobile devices, tap in the upper-left corner to open the menu).
  3. In the Tools Center pop-up, select Save your 2019 return to your computer.
  4. The file will download with the name taxReturn.tax2019.
  5. (Optional) Locate the downloaded file and change the default filename to something more recognizable, for example JohnDoeTaxReturn.tax2019 (just make sure you don't change the filename extension to the right of the dot).

Your online return is now saved in a format can be opened in the TurboTax software.
