Are you using the same account and user ID that you used for last year?   If so, those amounts would have transferred to 2025.   If you are in a different account, you will have to enter that information by looking at your 2024 return and keying it in by hand Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0

All,   In a previous comment, I suggested that TaxAct may be a viable solution to the idiot decisions that TT has made regarding this year's tax software.   However, after purchasing the TaxAct software for the DIY desktop version, I discovered a major error in that software as well.    The desktop version will only allow for one (1) copy of a business return.    It will allow up to five (5) individual returns to be generated.   Further, while the individual return for 2025 can be started with a upload of a 2024 PDF copy of your Form 1040; NOT SO WITH BUSINESS FORMS.  Another irritation, is it will only allow their own default generic file names and will not allow you to change the file name to something personal to the filing entity.   I have found a gentleman named "SCOTT" in their tech support / customer service to be very helpful in answering various questions about the TaxAct software.   He confirmed the above, and when I indicated that was not going to work for me given I have multiple business returns to file, Scott arranged for a full refund.   So I am going to now try H&R Block's tax software and see what I can accomplish.   Best of luck to all involved, and many thanks to all the posted comments.   It should be interesting to see down the road, how badly TT's sales are impacted by this idiot decision.

If you did not complete the File section and e-file the tax return then you can still go back and make any changes needed.   Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

@meagain1 wrote: Previous page included TaxAct https://thecollegeinvestor.com/category/taxes/best-tax-software/tax-software-alternatives/ Yeah, thanks, but it's totally inaccurate just in terms of the pricing, In fact, TaxAct is the MOST expensive desktop DIY tax prep software. The site you mentioned has the pricing listed probably for online. Below is a screenshot for desktop pricing.
