@DDAANN No, each year has its own tax programs, as tax laws change frequently and so must the programs.

 

If you used TurboTax Online last year, you'll just need to log into your TurboTax account using the same login info (same username and password) that you used for 2020.  Once you've selected to begin your 2021 return, your pertinent information from the 2020 return will automatically transfer into your new return.

 

If you used the Desktop (CD/Download) platform, you'll need to purchase the 2021 product that you'd like to use.  Once that software has been downloaded and installed to your computer, you'll see the option to transfer your 2020 information into the new 2021 program.
