"Transferring" 2022 TT desktop data into 2023 TT Desktop

[rodriguerex]

I see about transferring data from desktop 2022 into desktop 2023 if you have not started a return. I did start the 2023 return. I am looking for loss carryforward data and sources of income/expenses to transfer. If I delete what I have already entered into the 2023 desktop version, will I then have the option to transfer the data from 2022 into 2023? If so, please state how I would delete 2023 and then transfer 2022 data. Thank you.

To transfer into 2023 Desktop you have to start over with a new return, go up to File-New Tax Return.  You don't clear or delete the current return.  You can only transfer into a new return.  You can just delete the first return or ignore it.
