How do I import my return from online to desktop that’s in a different account?

[Jello1]

I did my return online under my personal account, but haven’t filed it. I had bought the desktop version under my work account a while ago. Is there a way to import my online return to the desktop version even though they’re each associated with two different accounts?

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return 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). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN
