The Import feature is included at no extra charge with the Deluxe+, Premier+, and Self Employed+ Editions. This feature allows you to import key information from last year's return, saving you valuable time. There is no need to enter information such as your name, Social Security Number (SSN), address, etc. You will be given the option to choose which information is transferred using our Import Manager, and can always review this information in case you need to make a change.

• CANNOT import previous year's Online into current year's Desktop (except through a PDF import)

Note. When using either the Online or Desktop version of the TaxAct program, you must import your prior year information before making any entries.
