This is stupid and the programmers at Intuit need to fix this.  I have an account at an institution and my spouse has a separate account at the same institution.  We get separate 1099-INTs.  There should be an option at import to "Add" or "Remove and Import".  Instead the only options are to "Remove and Import" or "Cancel".  Unbelievable that you think this is a "one-off" case.  Come on Intuit.

Hi Patricia, I am happy to send  a Word or PDF file with screenshots of the errors and issues when I encountered them.  I do not have a *.tax2025 file with these errors displayed at this point.  Also, I do not want to send my actual tax file from a data privacy point-of-view.   R/ Mike

It's hard to say why you're getting different results with such limited information.  Do you know if you both added a separate asset for the land, that is not depreciated?    Do you have your depreciation reports for the rental property.  If not, I suggest you get them from the CPA that helped you previously.  Take the information in the depreciation report and use it to adjust your rental property's Asset Worksheet in Forms mode.  If you enter the same cost basis, same date placed in service, and same accumulated depreciation in your Asset Worksheet that is on the Depreciation report then you should have the same depreciation expense.     As for not being able to take the loss, is your AGI above $100,000.  Taxpayers can deduct up to $25,000 in rental losses against ordinary income if their Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is $100,000 or less, with the deduction phasing out entirely by $150,000.  For more information see the following TurboTax article: Rental Real Estate and Taxes

@heppm01   Every year when I help my friend on her Mac I have a hard time finding the prior year to transfer.   This year I’m using my Windows computer since her Mac is too old to install Turbo Tax.  So I needed to copy the 2024 file to transfer into my computer. The 2024 file was in her Documents folder.  I double clicked on it to open in the 2024 program.   It first updated the program then opened the return.  Then I saved the return and copied it to a flash drive to move to my computer.  I was able to transfer it into 2025.   I see that works for many Mac people this year to transfer.  See if you can open 2024 in the 2024 program.   Then save it.    Several ideas and fixes in this thread. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/attempting-to-import-last-year-s-tax-return-but-t... Some posts I found said…. After the program said it successfully transferred the information, I would click through and then it didn't show anything. All the fields were blank. I tried multiple times. What finally seems to have worked is I chose to select a file from my computer, instead of the .tax file that automatically showed up to select. I just saw another post where someone said they kept "fiddling with it" so I exited out of 2025 TurboTax and back in again and then it worked....so I transferred it quick! I opened my 2024 tax file using TurboTax 2024. It notified me that there were updates necessary to the software. I allowed it to update TurboTex 2024 and open my last-year's file. Then I re-saved the file. I then quit TT2024, re-opened TT2025, and was able to transfer the data.   I did as another stated. Opened TT2024, it updated the file. closed application. Opened 2025 TT to transfer 2024 in and it worked like a charm.   How to find tax files on Mac https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-data-file/help/find-your-tax-data-file-in-mac/00/26206    

Thank you for the reply. I understand that the limit of my retirement saver’s credit would be only $54. The issue is that TurboTax won’t even give me that. This happened last year as well, and you gave me some workaround advice but it didn’t work. I finally gave up. Could it be a glitch in the program? 

You can try entering "Various Digital Assets" or "Cryptocurrency Portfolio" (or something similar).   The IRS requires each transaction to be listed, but if you import a file, the program generates a summary.   As long as the detailed breakdown is attached (done automatically by the program via the "Statement" or Form 8949), a collective name in the description field is acceptable.

The preparer of your K-1 may have reported more than one activity on one Schedule K-1.   At the screen Choose Type of Activity, click This K-1 reports in more than one of boxes 1,2, and 3.   Since your K-1 reports amounts in more than one of boxes 1, 2, or 3, the partnership/LLC is involved in more than one type of activity.  You should treat each activity separately in TurboTax.   So there will be one K-1 entry for box 1 income.  Only click on box 1 and the statement "This K-1...".   There will be a second K-1 entry for box 2 income.  Only click on box 2 and the statement "This K-1...".   The other boxes of the K-1 may refer to either box 1 income, box 2 income or a combination.  The preparer of the K-1 may have included attachments or detail which explain how those items break down.      

I'm having the same problem on the Windows version.  The field is highlighted in blue with an arrow.  When I click on one of the people to link to, the name flashes in the field then disappears.  Even though the form says keep for your records, I am not permitted to e-file.    

Did you file a return for this partnership last year?  If so, select the "About Your Business" tab.  On the page with "Confirm Your Business Information" scroll down and select Edit next to "Has an ownership change".  Indicate there was a change and then see if you can add a partner.

In TurboTax, in the Wisconsin state income tax return, at the screen Underpayment Interest, the Schedule U is discussed.    At this screen, you may allow the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to calculate interest on an underpayment of estimated tax or you may see whether you meet an exception to the underpayment interest.   Wisconsin Department of Revenue Schedule U Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Partnerships, and Fiduciaries may be found here.   Wisconsin Schedule U Instructions states:   Purpose of Schedule U    Use Schedule U to see if you owe interest for underpaying your estimated tax and, if you do, to figure the amount of interest you owe. It may be used by individuals, partnerships, estates, and trusts (except trusts subject to the Wisconsin tax on unrelated business income must use Form U, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Corporations).    Who Must Pay Underpayment Interest    If you did not pay enough estimated tax by any due date, or if you did not have enough Wisconsin income tax withheld, you may be charged interest on the underpayment. This is true even if you have a refund when you file your tax return. Underpayment interest is figured separately for each due date. Therefore, you may owe underpayment interest for an earlier payment due date, even if you pay enough tax later to make up the underpayment.    In general, you may owe underpayment interest for 2025 if you did not pay at least the smaller of:   90% of your current year (2025) tax liability, or  100% of your prior year (2024) tax liability if you filed a 2024 return that covered a full 12 months.    Note: The alternative to pay 100% of prior year tax liability does not apply to an estate or trust with taxable income of $20,000 or more.    

I have the exact same issue. Have been using Macintosh desktop TT for years and years and never had a problem importing prior year's data. This year, after trying to import into desktop TT 2025, it can't find last years file, and neither am I able to find it through browsing or using any combination of search terms. All the earlier years data files are still present, but the 2024 file is missing. There is zero percent chance I deleted this file.
