Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There was no flaw like that.   You must have just missed the screen that prompted you to use a return already on your computer in order to transfer the previous year into the new return.   With 2023 desktop, you had to click Start a new return, or "Begin" and then it would take you to the next screen where you could choose to transfer a return already on your computer, continue without transferring,  or import  a return from online TT.
