What's the maximum file size you can import from your PDF to the 2020 downloaded program?

Is 2.9MB a very large size? I get an "import unsuccessful", "file too large" message. Any clues what's wrong and how to solve this?

Having the same problem, trying to import an H&R block 2022 PDF (3.3MB) file into TurboTax Delux 2023, but getting the error "This import was unsuccessful. The file selected is too big".

Transferring (not importing) your H&R Block 2022 return PDF into TurboTax for 2023 will only transfer basic info, like name/address, etc. into TurboTax.

 

You would have to initiate the transfer before you enter any info into TurboTax 2023.

 

Here's more info on Transferring Last Year's PDF into TurboTax.

Can you upload a 2020 PDF into the Home & Business Desktop Software for PC for the purpose of completing your 2021 return, when it asks for you to browse your computer for last year's return (2020)?

 

Also, 2020 PDF (original) is file size: 2.32 mb
