Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you used TurboTax Desktop for 2024 and are using TurboTax Online for 2025, here's how to transfer your saved tax file from desktop to online:
Steps to Transfer 2024 Desktop File to 2025 Online:
- Locate File: Ensure you have your 2024 tax file (.tax2024) saved on your computer.
- Start Online: Sign in to TurboTax Online and start a new 2025 return.
- Transfer: Select Tax Tools > Tools > Transfer last year's TurboTax return from your computer in the left-side menu
- Upload: Follow the prompts to upload your 2024 file.
Important Notes:
- You must start with a new, blank 2025 return.
- If you already entered data, you may need to use "Clear and start over" to use the transfer feature.
- The transfer carries over personal information, employer details, and 1099/1098 data, but not specific 2024 financial numbers for 2025 calculations.
