I only have a pdf copy of last year taxes i did with desktop. Been trying to load in this year online version but it will not take it. How can I transfer it?

Sorry--- a pdf will not transfer your 2024 information into your new 2025 return. You need the tax file. Without the tax file, you just start 2025 from scratch and enter everything including your name, SSN, etc.

Are you sure you did not save a tax file in your computer?
