If you used the Online version and need to transport the data to the Software version this is how to do so.

Log into your online account.
Go to the 2015 Tax Timeline.
Scroll to "Some things you can do."
Look for a link to "download the .tax2015 data file." (it may just say "download .tax file")
Make note of where you save the file.

Then, if you are using the Mac desktop software, here's how to begin a new 2016 return and transfer in the 2015 data:

Launch your 2016 TurboTax program for MAC, and choose File > New Tax Return.
Select Use a tax return that's on my computer, select your return from the list, and then click Continue.
- If your file is not listed, make sure you rename it to include the .tax2015 file name extension or click the Find your tax return link to locate the file.
