Will home and business data import into turbo tax deluxe since i no longer need the business side?

Yes, if you used the TurboTax Home and Business desktop version last year, you can import your data into TurboTax Deluxe.

You can download the tax file from Home and Business desktop version you used and import it into the Business version. Here is how you can download your .tax file you have previously filed with Turbo Tax.

But it did not work for me the other way around.  I used Deluxe last year and it only imported names and SSs into Home & Business.  No other data including the important year-to-year comparison  It shows nothing from 2020.  Please help!

Thanks but I have a Mac and don't see the "tax data file".  I looked for Mac instructions and found the ".tax2020" file - which seems to be the software itself.  However, it is not an option to import in the 2021 TT when it asks me for a TXF file.  Can you please help?  I need to import ALL of my data, not just the PDF data which was basic stuff.  THANK YOU!!!
