I have beens using turbo tax premier for 10 years and have every years tax file on my computer. I have turbotax premier 2018 CD and want to import 2017 data from my turbotax premier 2017 tax file. I have rental properties and depreciation and I don't want to re-enter everything over again. I can't find a menu option or button that lets me import my data from last year. I began with "start a new return" which is how I always start my return.
Please see the below FAQ for assistance with transferring your 2017 return:
I've read several of the articles and still don't understand. I even said one that it's not possible to import if you're using Home and Business version. I bought the disc and followed the instructions but am stuck. Don't want to reenter by hand. thanks.

Are you wanting to transfer the 2021 tax return to the 2022 tax return? If so, then the 2021 tax data file with a file extension of .tax2021 must be on the same computer as the 2022 TurboTax software.
