Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I used the 2019 software that resides on my computer. I'm using the free software on turbo tax's website this year. How do I upload my 2019 taxes?

When I set up the online account it did ask for my 2019 taxes, but it wouldn't load. I have entered some information, but would like to try and upload my 2019 taxes again. I have cleared history and cache.

Try clearing and starting over in TurboTax Online. Click on Tax Tools in the left column, then Clear & Start Over.

 

How do I switch from TurboTax CD/Download to TurboTax Online?

I don't think you can transfer into the Free Edition.  You probably have to upgrade to Deluxe.

 

You will need to have the .tax2019 file on your computer.  If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue link if you used the CD/download last year........

If you already started an online return you will have to clear it and start over to transfer.  How to clear and start over

If you used the Desktop program before you may not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2020 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.
