Does TurboTax list the charities of the previous tax year and ask if I donated to them in 2025?

It did this in previous tax years and it was really helpful.

Mine did.....but if you are using a different "Online" account than you did last year, those charities probably didn't transfer.....nor would they if you were in the correct account...but did a clear and start-over without the transfer of last year's forms.

Similar for desktop...if you start a 2025 file without transferring last year's tax file...then there's nothing there form the prior year in the new file.

Hmm. The software is serving up results from last year, and I can see my 2024 return in the software. But this year it doesn't bring forward my charities, and in other parts of the process seems not to be able to access data from my 2024 return ("please enter your 2024 AGI" - wait, don't you have that TurboTax??") It is a puzzler.

@maripat-hinders

well.....

1) If you are using the "Desktop" software, you could start a new tax return, and make sure you select the proper .tax2024 datafile this time...to transfer in last year's data from the start of the new file. TTX doesn't have that information...only the file on your computer from 2024.

2) In the "Online" software, it automatically uses last year's data to transfer in all that information...but ONLY if you filed in the exact same account to file last year.

I'm using the same account and I started by importing last year's return. No luck. I can't find the list of charities. Sure would be a bit help to work from.

You can access your full 2024 return and get the list of if you filed it with TurboTax. To see and print Form 8283 to see all the charities for your 2024 donations:

Open your return
Select Documents from the menu
Use the dropdown menu to choose the tax year you want
Select Download tax PDF

How do I view, download, or print a prior-year tax return?
