Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is not true for me.  I never use document folder.  I save files in FOLDERS like  tax2023, tax 2024, etc.  Sometimes when I hit save turbotax puts saved file in tax2023 not tax2024, so I wind up with duplicate .tax files in both 2023 and 2024.   When I import files for the new year from the old year and I forget to make sure all files for a given year are in the correct folder, there may be 1 file in tax2023  labeled  xxx.tax2023 dated 3/3/23 in the tax2022 folder   and a similar file labeled  xxx.tax2023 dated 4.4.23 in the tax2023 folder.    

 

When this happens I now have 2 files with the same name but different date in 2 different folders.  How does turbotax know to use tax file from the tax2023 folder to import into the 2024 program not the tax2022 folder?
