I have a saved copy of my filed return on my computer but need to upload it to my online turbo tax account. How can I do that?

My return was completed on someone else's computer and so I didn't have access at that time to my online account. Now I want to amalgamate it with my other returns for continuity. How do I upload the .tt file to my online account?
