Hi, the PC version only allows me to upload my 2018 turbotax file even though I have the 2019 version. Any way I can get around this please?

Thanks.

Is this what you want?

You can move your Online file to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online or needing to reenter your info.

To continue in the desktop version see this…….

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return .tax file 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).

Edit: I meant from online to PC. Sorry for the confusion.

Please explain what you are trying to do.

where is your 2018 return? Are you trying to open it on your PC? Or transfer it into 2019?

Or did you start 2019 online and want to switch to the Desktop program?

Hi, it lets me upload my .tax file but only the 2018 version. I am trying to upload my current 2019 version from online to the PC version.

Thanks for the help.
