Question

Same problem, TurboTax will not import last year's return

This issue has never come up in all the years I've been using TurboTax. Using MacOS.

It is a problem that should have been fixed by now.

Level 15

This has been a known issue in the Mac desktop software, but many people have been able to use a simple workaround. Here are some things to try:

First make sure the 2024 data file is not password-protected/encrypted in the keychain.
Then close TurboTax completely. Then re-launch it, and try the transfer again. For some Mac users, that simple maneuver has solved it.

Or

Close TurboTax completely and restart your computer. Relaunch TurboTax and try the transfer again.

Or

Try to open the *.tax2024 data file with the 2025 program. It may say something like "This is not a 2025 data file, do you want to transfer instead?"
