I bought the download for turbo tax 18 and I kinda thought it would automatically sync my account with the online version i used in years prior. It did not. Is that a feature and I dont know how to set it up yet or is that something I will have to do manually?? IE download last years return and manually add it to the pc software.. And if that is the case, will it automatically upload my new return to my online account or will/can I upload it manually??

Thanks

There is no automatic linkage between the TurboTax desktop editions and the online editions, they are separate programs with totally separate price points.

You can download the 2017 tax data file from the online account to transfer to the 2018 desktop edition. See this TurboTax support FAQ for transfers using the TurboTax desktop editions for Windows - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901506-transfer-last-year-s-return-to-2018-turbotax-for-windows

You cannot upload a current year tax return created with the desktop editions to the current tax year online editions.
You can transfer a prior year tax data file from your computer to the current tax year online editions.
