Turbotax - Onine Edition - Exporting data file

[JC033]

Normally I buy the CD/Download version but got the online one as a gift. I finished my returns and trying to find a way to export the file. Does anyone know?

When you get the NETFILE page, click the Preview button to get a PDF of your full return (all the CRA forms).

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I am looking for the datafile to do my taxes next year using the CD/Desktop program NOT online.

There is no way to download anything from TurboTax Online other than a PDF. You can't transfer info from Turbotax Online into TurboTax CD/Download.

Thanks for the reply. This seems like a way to force users to stay with TurboTax. Very dishonest and perhaps there should have been better labelling indicating the online version will not be compatible with other tax software and even TurboTax CD. I'm very disappointed in this purchase and company.  Next year, this will be taken into consideration when I purchase a 2023 tax software.
