My 2015 tax file isn't showing in Turbotax online files. ( I do see other years). I know the file is on my hard drive...do I need to manually import everything?

Great step-by-step instruction, transfer went smoothly and don't have to re-enter all my data and 2015 is now in my timeline.  Although the download/CD is cheaper, totally don't want to remember to do this next year so I'll just file online from now on.  Thanks again, saved me a lot of time!

Here's how to transfer a *.tax2015 data file from the desktop version into a 2016 Online return:

• Log in and if you have already started a 2016 online return, then open your 2016 return ("Take me to my return.")
  
• Once the return is open, then click on MY ACCOUNT at the top, and then TOOLS. (screen image 1)
  
• In the Tools window, choose: "Transfer last year's TurboTax return from your computer." (screen image 2)
  
• Then it will ask you if you agree to clear your return.  (screen image 3).
• Then on next screen use the Browse feature to point TurboTax to the file location.  (screen image 4)
