To transfer a 2023 file into 2024 Desktop (Windows) program, follow these steps:

 

  1. On your PC, find last year's tax file and copy it to a removable device like a thumb drive or flash drive.
  2. On your Mac, copy the tax file from the device to your desktop.
  3. Open TurboTax for Mac and choose File New Tax Return.
  4. Select Begin.
  5. TurboTax will search for 2022 tax return files on your computer and should find it. If it doesn't, select Find your tax return.
  6. Wait for TurboTax to finish transferring the information over.
