I am moving from Turbotax to ProSeries this year. I dont have proseries 2019, nor turbotax 2020. How do I convert my 2019 turbotax files to 2020 proseries files without those programs? Do I really have to buy turbotax 2020 to do this? Seems like a waste of money to buy Proseries, then have to buy Turbotax again.

Every article that has this as a post has... "convert your 2019 turbotax file to a 2020 turbotax file". That is a big missing how to.

No, there is no converter that does this automatically.

However, With your 2020 Proseries license, you should have access to prior year Proseries 2019. Contact customer service if you do not see it available for download in your account.

You can change the extension of the 2019 turbo tax files from .2019tax to the correct proseries extension( .19i for indiv. This will be different for business returns)

Once you have the files in the 2019 Proseries, you will not be able to open them without charge, but they will be available for transfer to the 2020 ProSeries program.

So you are saying that you have been improperly using a personal tax software product as a paid tax preparer? Rather than cough up a couple of bucks for Turddotaxx, you are now publicly admitting to violating the terms of use of an Intuit product on an Intuit public forum? Or did I read your post wrong?
