Question

Will not import my 2020 tax return. It will only import my 2019 tax return.

Turbo tax only recognizes a file with .tax2019 and not .tax2020.  I want to import last years data in order to prepare my return for 2021.

Sounds like you are in the 2020 program.   Go up to Help-About.   Or it might say 2020 at the top.   Did you buy and install the 2021 program?

You do NOT import or open the .tax2020 file in the 2021 program ... you TRANSFER it ...
