How to retrieve Turbotax files?

[jesunattt]

I had to switch to a new Mac computer. I transferred the .tax2025 file to google drive. When I tried to retrieve the file and found that the .tax2025 file has been zipped. When I tried to unzip the file, it shows 3 files with out the .tax2025 file. I couldn't open all 3 files using the Turbotax desktop software. Could you let me know how to retrieve the .tax2025 file? I have TurboTax 2025 Home and Business Desktop version tax software. Thank you!

Here’s an old post that might help.

...or....maybe

Start over and Copy the .tax2025 datafile on the old MAC to a USB flash drive , then copy that file from the USB flash drive to the new MAC.  That doesn't involve a zip file.

IF a state is involved with that file (or multiple states), then the sate software must be installed before you try to open that file on the new computer.
