I am having the same problem. I used Turbo tax desktop to prepare my 2024 return and I am not prompted to import the data into my 2025 return which is also Turbo tax desktop. The .tax2024 document is on my computer. This normally happens automatically.  Please list step by step instruction on how to do this.  I use TurboTax because I can import from last year. Is there a bug in the program???

Please follow up with @pk   Is this an employee pension, or is this a social benefit program similar to US Social Security?  There may be Tax Treaty provisions that affect the taxability of the pension. 

Yes, this happened to me. It also appears that others in this forum also have had similar problems with their Turbo Tax eFiled tax return that has the residential energy efficient tax credit.   I think it would help others avoid delays with their returns if Intuit give users a warning that using QMID I7Q6 can cause delayed return processing and to consider filing by mail.  If I had know I would have this experience I would have filed by USPS.  

Sorry, you can't claim the credit.  First, you can only claim property when it was actually installed, you can't delay the claim until it is more convenient.  Second, the energy efficiency credits were ended 12/31/25 by the OBBB so there won't be a credit next year even if you could delay.  Third, the QMID is a requirement under the law (the Inflation Reduction Act passed during the Biden era).  Manufacturers had 3 years to get registered -- if your manufacturer failed, that is something you can take up with them, but the IRS has not announced any further leniency.  

The TurboTax online editions can only be used for completing one tax return per account and User ID.  To start another tax return using the online editions you will need to create a new account with a new User ID and a new email address.  Go to this website and click on Sign up to create a new account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

You should contact your state agency or the IRS to figure out why your refund was not what you anticipated. There are a number of reasons your refund may be different than the original amount expected:   If you owe the IRS back taxes, they will take it from your refund. If that is the case, the IRS will send you a letter explaining exactly how much they took and where it was applied. (If your state participates in the State Income Tax Levy Program SITLP, the IRS may seize your state refund.)   If you owe money at the state level, your tax refund may be seized under a Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP).   If you owe certain state and federal debts, you may have had a Treasury Offset to pay the debt. Click here to contact Treasury Offset if you think that may be the case.   If you made an easily verifiable mistake on your tax return, like mistyping a figure on your W-2, the IRS may have corrected it before remitting your refund. If that is the case, the IRS will send you a letter explaining the change.    If you requested a refund advance, or asked that your fees be paid from your refund, and you owe the bank a debt, they may have taken it from the refund. You can contact TPG customer service, follow this link for more. See: IRS - Refund inquiries; IRS - Reduced refund; TurboTax - Why is my refund lower than the amount shown in TurboTax?
