Manually enter last year tax return into TurboTax 2019

[K K]

Hello,

So I have my tax return documents from last year filed using a CPA and I'm looking to enter those information into TurboTax 2019 before filling in tax information for 2019 so TurboTax has info of last year to properly file this year return?

How do I enter my last year 2018 tax information manually into TurboTax 2019 software?

Note that 2018 taxes were NOT filed using TurboTax or any other online products.

Thanks,

You can't unless you buy the 2018 Desktop program and recreate your return to transfer it into 2019.  You will have to enter any 2018 info it needs as you fill out 2019.

my 2018 taxes were complicated and done by a CPA not Turbo.  will the desktop version alone allow me to input the required information in order to pull in information for current 2019 taxes?

Either program will allow you to enter the prior year information as required ... what it will not let you do is enter the entire 2018 return ... as mentioned earlier you could buy the 2018 downloaded version, enter the entire 2018 return and then transfer that entire return into either 2019 program ... however that is a lot of unnecessary work but it may teach you how to enter the 2019 info if it is anything like the 2018 return.
