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.

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

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?"
