My 1120S from 2018 didn't transfer over to 2019.  Now that I've opened 2019, it's showing no last year amounts.  How to I get the figures to transfer over without keying them in again.

Start the return again and this time do a search for the .tax2018 file it could not find the first time.

Do you have the 2018 tax file on your computer?  It ends in .tax2018.  You need that to transfer into 2019.  First thing you do is start a new return and it should find all your 2018 files and ask if you want to transfer them.

By the way,  both the personal returns and Business returns end in the same .tax2018 so you might have several files.

 

Search your computer for it.  Check the Recycle Bin or Trash.  Check in One Drive, etc.  it should be in your Documents then in the Turbo Tax folder.  Check your backups.
