My 2018 return is in progress online. Due to online limitations, I bought a desktop version. How do I move my currently in progress return to the desktop version?

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - New)
