If it doesn't show up on a list of 2015 tax returns when you start the second 2016 return and you saved the 2015 return as a .tax file on your computer, click on Browse to search your computer.
The 2015 tX files end in .tax2015. They should be in your Documents then in a Turbo Tax folder. Or search your computer for all files ending in .tax2015 or .tax. And check the Recyle Bin.
Are you going up to File - New to start the other return?
my tax returns are in Turbotax 2015 and I saved them also on my computer, yet when I opened my new 2016 Turbotax I could only select 1 return to transfer?!
Can you even start a new second return to transfer into? File-New
I saw another post that couldn't start another return
Just saw a new FAQ for not transferring. Maybe this will help?

yes I can start a new return, but that is not what I want to do. I have 2 different tax returns that I did last year, and it let me only transfer one. Why cannot I see my other tax return to transfer for 2016?
Are you trying to transfer them both into 1 return? You can only transfer from 1 return. To transfer another one you have to start a new 2016 return and transfer into that. So when you start a new return the 2015 file doesn't show up in the box to transfer? If not, you can browse to where it is.
