You need the .tax file on your computer to transfer into the online version. Like you need the .tax2017 file to transfer into 2018.
If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the 3rd blue link if you used the CD/download last year........

If you used the Desktop program before you may not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2018 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.
Thanks. I was unable to upload my 2018 file, but it let me upload my 2017 file. 😑 I guess there will be a point in time when TurboTax will allow us to upload 2018? I need to keep digging. Also, I'd love to keep using the CD version, but apparently TurboTax will no longer support my system next year. I refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 for various reasons.
Huh? You won't be able to transfer 2018 .tax2018 file from your computer until Turbo Tax opens the 2019 online version in December. 2018 is still the current year return. You have to wait. So don't lose your .tax2018 file.
