in 2023, I used TT desktop. Trying to upload 2023 so I can switch to MAC. TT says they won't upload depreciation schedules. Any way around?

My thought was that if I uploaded 2023 return to TT cloud, I could then download TT to the mac and use the cloud info to be basis for 2024 return on mac. OR, does the TT extension work on both Mac & PC?

Do you mean you prepared 2023 on a Windows PC and now you are switching to a Mac for 2024?   If you have the tax file----the one called     .2023tax    on a flash drive, you can use that to transfer 2023 to your new 2024 return.   

How to transfer last year’s return?

xmasbaby0, thanks very much...   worked like a charm...   the only difference is it's tax.2023.  vs .2023tax.     🙂

another question, I should start a new thread--  I want to share my TT with an out of state friend, who usually uses TT on line.  TT says he must log into my account with the Key, to download.  He will have to buy his own state...   but will he be able to access his 2023 taxes, since he's logged into my acct?    Or maybe he just logs into my acct to download the software, then after that he can log into his own acct?

Your last sentence is how it works!   You can install the software 5 times or on 5 devices.   The installs have to be done from your account, where the installation file is located.   But after it is installed, he will use his TurboTax account - the one he signed in to prepare his 2023 return.  

When you (or he) uses TurboTax Online, the tax files are stored in the cloud, but he will have access.  If you use the desktop software, you have to keep your tax files on your PC or some other storage, those are not stored in the Intuit cloud like the online returns are.

He will need to download his 2023 tax file to start his 2024 return in the desktop software.   Or if he already started his 2024 return in TurboTax Online, it will be transferred to the desktop software once he logs into his account (after it is installed).   But if he hasn't started his 2024 yet in either version, he will need the 2023 file - which he can get from the TurboTax Online Tax Home page.  He will start his 2024 return by transferring in the 2023 tax file.  

The desktop software can access a TurboTax Online return for the current year in the event he already started preparing his 2024 using TurboTax Online.
