Users sometimes report that problems with importing a return were solved after an update was run. On a Mac, simply quit and reopen TurboTax. If there are any updates, you'll be prompted to download them. Once you've done this, try again. 

 

Tips:

  • It's best to use a wired, high-speed connection when updating, both to save time and minimize data corruption.
  • If your connection drops in the middle of the update, try again; it should pick up where it left off.

To transfer info from your 2022 TurboTax for Mac return:

  1. Open TurboTax for Mac 2023 and choose File New Tax Return.
  2. Select Begin and choose Use a tax return that's on my computer.
  3. Select your 2022 return from the list and select Continue.
  4. Select Continue to review the transferred information. We'll also give you opportunities to review, edit, or delete transferred information later on.

Be aware that once you've gone past the Transfer screens, you can't go back to revisit them. If you need to re-do your transfer, go back to step 1 to start over with a new return.
