DUPLICATE .TAX FILES

The 2023 tax data that is being presented for transfer would be in the TurboTax folder in the Documents directory. 

That is not true for me.  I never use document folder.  I save files in FOLDERS like  tax2023, tax 2024, etc.  Sometimes when I hit save turbotax puts saved file in tax2023 not tax2024, so I wind up with duplicate .tax files in both 2023 and 2024.   When I import files for the new year from the old year and I forget to make sure all files for a given year are in the correct folder, there may be 1 file in tax2023  labeled  xxx.tax2023 dated 3/3/23 in the tax2022 folder   and a similar file labeled  xxx.tax2023 dated 4.4.23 in the tax2023 folder.    

When this happens I now have 2 files with the same name but different date in 2 different folders.  How does turbotax know to use tax file from the tax2023 folder to import into the 2024 program not the tax2022 folder? 

Each time you save a file to your hard drive the saved file automatically defaults to the TurboTax folder. Search your PC for the TurboTax folder and you will find any tax return you have saved.  See the example below.
