Many thanks for your post. For some reason I thought that my account was set up to receive email notifications when someone replied to a post, but this did not happen.
We keep the TT data files stored on OneDrive, so we can access them from almost any location. We have done this for many years. Obviously, we have to ensure that we are both not working on the same file at the same time, but this has not been a problem. Currently, in the OneDrive folder, we have two data files for each person for whom we are doing returns (e.g., children, grandchildren, etc.). This is a first. The ones created (or saved) by my wife's Windows-based laptop are named as usual. The file names of the ones created by my Mac contain the extra verbiage, described in my original post. I have not taken the time to place a token change in one of the Mac files that I have been working on to see if it gets saved in both files on OneDrive. Since we have never had this problem before, I am tempted to delete all of the Mac-created files on OneDrive, and then load, edit and save one of the Windows-based files to see if the issue disappears. I believe that the Mac naming of the files occurred during setup when the previous year's files were being loaded into the 2021 format.
We have always bought the CD version of TT Premier, which enables us to load the main version onto both computers in their respective formats. Then, we download three states via the Windows computer, but contact TT Support to have Mac-based state software downloaded by TT to my TT account, which I then download to my Mac. If I attempt to duplicate the Windows download process on my Mac, the software wants to charge me a second time for the state software.
Thanks for your time and effort!
