It would be best to transfer from the actual tax file.  But I don't know if you can on Mac.  

You can transfer TaxAct and H&R Block pdf to the Mac Desktop CD/Download program

Can I transfer last year's PDF to 2021 TurboTax for Mac?

 

But be aware transferring from a pdf only transfers basics info like name, address, ssn and AGI.  So you might as well enter everything from scratch.  The FAQ says...

  • From a PDF—which will transfer your personal info and your AGI to give you a head start.

Thank you. Sorry for not replying. Juggling several things. So that I think answered that question. 

but haven’t gotten to that yet. 

having trouble getting it up & running so guess I need to look for answers to that. It’s not letting me drag from downloads to applications folder.
