I have used turbotax online for several years. I was getting ready in October to do my 2023 taxes online THEN our state was declared a disaster area so I procrastinated and did not do my 2023 online. Now, unfortunately, I cannot use the 2023 online filing (even though I had already paid for it at some point.) I purchased the 2023 desktop version from Amazon and installed it. I wanted to transfer the information from my previously filed 2022 tt online version to my 2023 desktop version. I have rental income and have several schedule E's that I really don't want to have to retype all those on the desktop version. I can save the 2022 online tax document as a PDF file but I don't see any option to save it as the type of file necessary to transfer the info to a desktop version. PLEASE tell me there is a way to save it with the necessary extension instead of a PDF so I won't spend hours retyping all those Schedule E's into the desktop version. Sorry for the long post but I tried to put all the relevant info in. Thank you in advance for ANY help from anyone that can help me.

You should be able to save it as a .tax2022 data file. In fact people always ask how to save the pdf because they can only save the .tax file. Is there a button to amend? That will download the .tax file.

How did you find the .tax2022 file? Did you get it transferred into a new 2023 return? That link I gave you wasn’t exactly the right one, I got mixed up.
