Navigation with TT online

[user17696150838]

I'm finding it very frustrating that the navigation of online is not like desktop.  I'm a long term TT user and I don't want to learn a new program.  Am I stupid to expect online to operate like desktop?  I can't find how to link to prior years return to import all the data and avoid re-entry, which seems to be the way online works.  Please comment!!!

Yes, you can transfer last year's Desktop X.tax file into this year's Online software.

Log into your Online TurboTax

1. Hit Tax Home (Top Left)
2. Select Personal Info, [Continue]
3. A left sidebar will show up
4. Select Tax Tools
5. Then Tools
6. There will be a popup in the center screen
7. Select Transfer last year's TurboTax return from your computer
8. Then follow the interview.

Yes, the Online and Desktop do function differently, but the input categories are essentially the same.

Also see the TurboTax article How to transfer Data
