How do I import last year’s tax return into my H&R Block Tax Software?

Though the software from H&R Block helps you import last year’s tax return and tells you what you need, you still might have some questions about the process.

First, let’s start with the files you can import in H&R Block Tax Software. There are two types of files you can use to import your tax return:

• You can import last year’s tax return data file from:
  • H&R Block software
  • TurboTax software
• You can import a PDF copy last year’s return from any source, including:
  • H&R Block Tax Software
  • H&R Block Online
  • H&R Block tax office
  • TurboTax online or software
  • TaxAct Online
  • Any other tax prep company where you have a PDF copy of your prior-year return
  • A scanned PDF copy of your paper return

If you have both a tax data file and a PDF of your return, the tax data file will let us import more tax return data than a PDF of your return.
