See TurboTax support FAQ for transferring 2024 tax data to the 2025 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/transfer-last-year-return-turbotax-online/L279eUvY2_US_en_US

Unfortunately that did not work. I am still not seeing any option for me to upload my 2024 completed tax return that was completed and filed outside of TurboTax. Any help would be appreciated.

Did not the information for using other tax software assist?

If you used other tax software last year

Select the method you used to file last year and use the help links and instructions to transfer your PDF and to change your filing status (like single or married filing jointly), if different.

Keep in mind:

The PDF needs to be your 1040 or 1040-SR.
The program accepts PDFs from a range of providers, such as HR Block, Credit Karma, TaxAct, ezTaxReturn, TaxSlayer, or Liberty Tax/Tax Brain.

We support a wide number of other providers and keep expanding our capabilities.

In certain situations, the program might not accept a PDF, such as when it's password protected, when it's a scan of a hard copy rather than an electronic PDF, or in certain other cases. If this happens, we'll guide you through typing in your info.
