We have been using TurboTax desktop home and business for a few years. MFJ for all the years.
My spouse did tax return for yr 2024. Our computer was replaced in middle of year 2025. Fortunately we saved a copy of tax file in pdf before we lost everything else in the computer.
this year I started the return on TurboTax desktop home and business as usual, imported the final tax return pdf file for 2024, but it didn’t seem to come through well, as it showed very briefly on one page something like (my previous year AGI was 11,xxx,xxx), among other errors.
obviously I was not that rich…
I continued and typed in all info, with the tax return 2025 seemingly ok, until a pdf file is saved for proofreading.
I noticed that under col 2024 : only AGI showed up (11million, along with “single” status) but no other information . See screenshot below.
I really don’t know how TurboTax got that crazy number, or how to fix it.
is it a big issue I need to worry about?
thank you in advance!

I figure that it won’t work by importing a “pdf” file.
“You need to copy the file ending in .tax2024 to the hard drive of the current computer. “ @VolvoGirl
But still, I don’t get it why/where/ how TurboTax gets the wrong information on 2024 carryover,
and how to fix it… :(
there seems to be some problem with uploading my screenshot, please bear with me.
I had a similar issue after starting my 2025 return by importing a PDF of a 2024 return from H&R Block software. On the Federal Carryover Worksheet under Other Tax and Income Information, 2024 AGI is 8 figures (if that was correct I sure wouldn't be doing my own taxes). The digits match the actual AGI with the 2024 form's line number (11) appended at the end so it appears the PDF was parsed incorrectly. Carryover is irrelevant to my situation, so does this error affect the calculations in any way?
Update: I was able to correct the 2024 AGI in the carryover worksheet using Forms view (this is in TT Deluxe) and apparently no calculations were changed.
Still have questions?
