You might have downloaded the installation file but not started/completed the actual installation of the program.   Once you've downloaded & started to install TurboTax Desktop, you'll be asked to login through the TurboTax Desktop application itself. You only need to sign in through a browser if you want to purchase the program or make changes to your TurboTax/Intuit account.     

....and...if you just logged in for the first time this year, you do have to start thru some of the initial 2025 Questions, before the ability to access the prior years will show up: _________________________________

Are you using the same account and using the same user ID?     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  

Had the same problem on Mac OS 15.6.1 using Apple silicon. "Fiddling" caused the app to become unresponsive. On restart, I tried importing again and TurboTax found the file but complained about the password. (My file was not encrypted.) I answered a "forgot your password" question and the imported started and then completed without a hitch.
