You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Here's how to download the *.tax2019 data file you started in Online TurboTax, so you can open and finish it in the desktop software.
NOTE: If you've already been preparing a state return Online, then that data file will have the state return in it, too. If so, you'll need to download the state program into your desktop software before opening the file, or it will give you an error notice. To do that, you may have to start a temporary dummy desktop return just long enough to download the state program. You can later delete that temporary dummy return.
