I have a PDF of my e-Filed 2021 TT but need to import a file into my 2022 Home & Business TT.

How do I download my 2021 return to my Mac desktop? What filetype applies?

You need the tax file, not a pdf. The one with the extension .tax2021

Since I e-filed my 2021 return, can I download the .tax2021 file? How?

On Mac "save as" is Duplicate You should have the 2021 tax file on your computer. Don't try to transfer it from iCloud. Use Finder to find it.

No you don't need to transfer 2021 into 2022. You can enter everything from scratch again. Do you have any complicated items like Depreciation? You can manually enter any carryovers like Capital Loss Carryover.

Thank you to all who provided advice on how to resolve my "missing" .tax2021 file. I'm all set.
