Are you using the Online version or the Desktop program that you installed?  For Online.... You can transfer it again but doing this will also clear out all your current entries. If you haven't filed, registered or paid you can try to clear and start over. This FAQ might be wrong, Clear and start over is now under Switch Products section. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444

@KC Kirk   You should be able to install TT Business on Windows 10.  Maybe your computer needed to install some Windows Updates.  Or could you have bought Home & Business instead?     When you copy the .tax2024 file be sure to  get the right one.  Both the personal versions and the Business program use the same file extension as .tax2024.   For Windows…..What I would do on the old computer, is copy the whole Turbo Tax folder that is under your Documents. That should be where the .tax files and pdf files are stored. Also if you haven't done it, I would open each year in the program and save it as a pdf file, go to FILE - SAVE TO PDF so you don't need the program installed to view your return. Copy that folder to a flash drive or best yet is to burn it to a CD or DVD and then you will have a backup of them. Then on the new computer copy the folder (or files) from the flash drive to your Documents folder.   See this article on how to move your tax return to another computer……. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-data-file/help/how-do-i-move-my-tax-data-file-to-another-computer/00/26128

 W11 is required for any of Turbotax's 2025 apps, including desktop individual.  Copy the 2024 file (not the PDF so you still have a copy on the W10 computer) to a thumb drive or maybe even email it to yourself (this won't work if the file is too large). On the W11 computer download from e-mail or if you used a thumb drive copy or cut and paste it to your W11 desktop. Just makes it easier to find. When you start the 2025 you may have to browse to the desktop for the app to see the 2024 file. There may be other methods available to transfer the file, but this depends on your specific setup and what you are able to do.  

It's entered on the 1099-INT (in the adjustment section), but can not exceed the interest income received on that bond during the same tax year. Any excess is carried forward.  Turbotax does not do this correctly if your 1099-INT reports interest income from multiple sources. You would have to enter the proper amount, and then keep a record of any carryforward amount.  Even if you were to enter the interest on this bond on a separate 1099-INT, the adjustment can't exceed the interest income. You would still need to keep track of any amount you could not deduct.   with online you can't see the schedule B  until the fees are paid. the gross interest income should show up the a subtotal and thn the deduction for accrued interest. make sure you enter the accrued interest amount as a positive number   the screen may only show what's reported on line 1 of the 1099 not the net.  after entering line 1 you should see a screen where - "I need to adjust this amount. check it and then continue". On the following screen you'll enter the adjustment amount and use the drop-down to select the reason

I bought TT Business 2025 and tried to install in January. The program said it would not work on Windows 10. I had to install it on my other computer which has Windows 11. Unfortunately that complicates importing my return from 2024. 

You should have an acknowledgment from the school that it was a charitable donation in which case it is an itemized deduction if you itemize. . I assume it was not to pay tuition. If so, you could look into education credit. 

I'm having a similar issue. I have an S-corp and I'm the sole employee. Last year I used TT Business and was able to file W-2 and W-3 forms electronically. This year it doesn't seem to allow it. I have desktop version.
