My 2023 turbotax file was deleted. How do I manually import the information from the tax return info I downloaded from the IRS website?

I'm trying to determine if I can do so before purchasing turbotax 2024. To test this in turbotax 2023 I created a new return but the only options to import previous returns appears to be only allowed in turbotax format or pdf. I imported the 2022 pdf from the IRS for testing and it failed to import. What is bets practice when we lose our previous years data?
