Can I download data entered on-line to cd version?

I entered my tax data into turbotax on-line for 2019 then decided to purchase the cd/desktop version so I can see the return.  How do I download that information for the cd/desktop version?

See this TurboTax support FAQ for saving your online tax return as a tax data file that can be downloaded to a computer - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/saving/help/how-do-i-save-my-turbotax-online-return-as-a-tax-data-...

Even before you pay for the online version you can switch to the desktop version and you won't have to re-enter your information. To continue in the desktop version see this…….

You need to download the .tax2019 file from online to your computer. But after you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return .tax file is to update the program and install any state programs you had. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Then you just OPEN your file, go up to FILE - OPEN. It should find your .tax2019 file or if it doesn't you can browse (using Find a Tax File) to where you saved it.


You can buy a cd or download the program here or look around at stores for sales.
