importing previous tax report

[jirong long]

I tried to import tax report of previous year pdf file, but the rental info on schedule E were not imported. How can I import all info from previous 1040 and schedule E?

A pdf is not the one you needed.  You needed the tax file.   And...if you want to transfer 2023 to 2024 you have to do that at the very beginning, before you enter any 2024 information, so you will need to start over.

How to transfer last year’s return?

I only have pdf genetered by turbotax last year. I can not find turbotax file.

Is there any other way to import the info?  

Thanks.

Sorry---no---you need the tax file the one that ends with .tax2023     A pdf just does not "cut it" --- a pdf only transfers some personal information like your name, SSN, etc.    Always--always---save the tax file and a pdf.
