Are you using the .tax2021 file that was generated by the program?

 

That file should be saved on your computer or other media.

    What, exactly, is going awry with the transfer?

     

    I have been able to transfer multiple test returns from 2021 (1120, 1120-S, 1041, 1065) without any issues.

      Are you using the CD/Download, and did you save it as a .tax file or PDF?
