Bought TurboTax Deluxe 2025 & cannot import my H&R Block 2024 return.
The file is (My Name)2024 H&R Block Tax ReturnT24
But when I use the TT Import function & search for my file, it is greyed out.

TurboTax advertises that it can import H&R Block!

Help please.

    Are you on Windows or Mac?  I think it only transfers into Windows Turbo Tax.

    See…..Transferring from TurboTax for Windows, H&R Block, or TaxACT

    TurboTax Online and the Mac Desktop program only supports PDF transfers, if you used other tax software last year. But a pdf only transfer very basic info like your name and AGI. It would be just as easy to manually enter all your info. So it's probably not worth even trying to transfer it.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Sorry I forgot to specify I’m on a Mac & do not have a PC.
    The H&R Block tax file is (My Name) 2024 H&R Block Tax Return.T24
    I forgot to add the “.” Making it clear that the file extension is “.T24”

     

    I also had made PDF files for my 2024 Return but I’ve read & you just said that pdf will only transfer basic info.

    It seems like a made a mistake buying the non-returnable TT software from Amazon & should have stuck with H&R Block.

     

    I have used TT for many years but last year I found it did not work with my older MacO.S. Monterey v12.7.6. But H&R Block software did! I was able to transfer my prior year TT file to H&R Block & do my 2024 taxes.
    This year I bought a new Mac (My old one was not able to update the O.S. Apple does that to force customers to buy new Macs)

    I now run macOS Tahoe 265.2, the latest O.S.

     

    Your link:
    “Transferring from TurboTax Desktop for Mac”

    Says to copy the last years tax file (Which would be a .T24 file) onto a removable flash drive & copy it to my PC (& change the file extension to “.tax24” (They said .tax23 but In this case I need last years which is 2024)

    I don’t know if they mean to add the “.tax24” after the “.T24”
    Or to replace the “.T24” with “.tax24”

     

    IDK if I’m then supposed to copy the renamed tax file back to the flash drive & copy it to my Mac & then TT will be able to import it or if they mean I should somehow do taxes on the PC which will not work since I D/L the TT Mac version.

     

    I don't really have a PC but do have a very old one, in storage, that belonged to a relative from ~ 9 years ago.

    Of course I can easily make a duplicate of my H&R T.24 tax file on my mac & change the file extension, replacing the “.T24” with “.tax24”

    Would that work?

    Thanks again!

    Oh sorry.  That first link was how to transfer INTO the Windows TurboTax program, not to Mac.  Disregard all that.    Here are 2 links for Mac......
