Import TXF files

tbressi — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 18:45:27 GMT

I am trying to important my 2024 tax return into my 2025 program so I can use it to start a new return. When I follow the instructiions, and am led to the folder where my tax file is stored, the interface does not recognize my tax file as an importable file. I have renamed it with a .txf extension, no luck. Any advice on how to have Turbotax recognize my tax file from last year so I can use it. I am using a Mac running Sonoma

You need to Transfer (not import) the file ending in .tax2024. Don’t be renaming it. Most people say it works just by closing and restarting Turbo Tax.

Jan 29, 2026…my sister called me about transferring 2024 into 2025 on Mac not working. I told her to try opening 2024 in the 2024 program and let it update then save it again. IT WORKED!

Everyone....Here's some posts I found about Transferring from 2024 into 2025 on Mac.

This post got it to work a weird way….

"I was having the same issue and stumbled upon a workaround. I tried opening the 2024 return using the 2025 software. Then a dialogue box opened up offering to transfer the file and this actually worked."

This user found he didn't hit the Begin button to start
