Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

So I've wandered into TurboTax Online. Can I not access my 2019 info done, from the downloaded software, to input my info for filing online in 2020?

Can I transition from the downloaded TurboTax software to TurboTax online without starting over? And will TurboTax online import from ItsDeductable?

You can transfer from 2019 on your computer to the online version.  But you will have to start 2020 over.

 

You will need to have the .tax2019 file on your computer.  If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue link if you used the CD/download last year........

If you already started an online return you will have to clear it and start over to transfer.  How to clear and start over

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 .tax2020 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.
