Was your 2015 return prepared using Mac software on the same computer that you are now using for 2016?

Or did you happen to use a Windows computer in 2015 that was using Windows XP?

Problem solved!

I prepared the 2015 return on a different Mac computer than I am using now. I saved the 2015 return on the old computer using a password and was able to import the encrypted 2015 file into the 2016 Turbotax software on the new computer with no problem!

Thank you, your insightful comment was very helpful!
