Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@juham2013 I haven't bought my 2025 program yet but I have installed prior years on different computers when I need to get a new computer. I had to go from Windows 8 to Windows 10 a couple years ago to install Turbo Tax. I was able to transfer everything from the Windows 8 computer and able to install the prior years programs too.
Yes all you need to transfer into 2025 is the file ending in .tax2024 from the old computer. So make sure you have that file and know where it is. It should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder. Copy the .tax2024 file to a flash drive so you can copy it into the new computer. And actually you can transfer the .tax2024 file into Windows or Mac desktop programs. Mac uses the same data file.
Regarding viewing your return I say that so if you need to print or look at a prior year without installing that program you can get a copy of the pdf, like to give to someone like a lender etc. You should be saving each year as the .taxyyyy data file and also as a PDF file when you are done filing.
