Well for one you must have the 2022 tax data file on your computer with the 2023 TurboTax program started. When you start a New Tax Return the software looks for prior year tax data filed in the TurboTax folder within the Documents directory. If none are found you can always click on Find tax file to locate where you saved the data filed.

Been using the TurboTax desktop programs for the past 20+ years and never have a problem transferring the prior year tax data to the current year tax return.
