What are you trying to do?  You cannot upload any 2019 return into 2019 Self-Employed online software.  How/where was the 2019 return you are trying to upload prepared?  

[saundejo4156-gma]

ok...   2019 return was already submitted -- done.

Now self-employed so I need to use TTSE with QBSE to help with estimated tax submission.

So I want to ingest my 2019 return into TTSE so I can get started and it doesnt look like that is an option.

I need to deal with getting ready to file estimated taxes in 2 weeks!

I was hoping that TT and QB SE would be able to help me do it, but now I'm not as confident.

Hopefully that clarifies things??

Thanks for helping...

What did you use to do 2019?  A lower version?  Sorry you can't use qbse to help unless you are entering 2019 info into a new 2019 return.  You don't need it or the Self Employed version to prepare estimates.

To prepare estimates for next year you start with your current return, but be careful not to change anything.  For Online returns, if you can't get back into your return, Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun.

You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return , click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section.

Or Go to….
