I have the same issue with the 2024 MA download and posted about this last night. I read through the replies from 2022/2023 years and it appears to be a glitch that hopefully will be fixed. One point that might be telling to Intuit is that I had been working on my federal return before downloading MA on 1/23/2025. As part of that after transferring last year's return to 2024, I dropped my children as dependents because I was sick of going through the checklists and found out how to delete that. I wonder if that change somehow caused the MA download to think it was a new return or something, but our data did pass over ok otherwise. Anyway, I hope they fix it, but the manual override seems to work just fine.
I'm in the same boat as previous customers. I noticed doing my 2024 Massachusetts taxes it didn't move capital loss carryover numbers from Federal to MA. Now I see it didn't do it last year either on my 2023 state forms with desktop deluxe, but it did work okay with my 2022 turbotax deluxe.
Not being anything close to a tech type guy, I'm at a loss as what to do. Try to amend my 2023 MA state return? Try to force numbers into the 2024 state form? Go to a tax prep company? Any ideas would be appreciated, but again, I'm not tech savy. Thanks much.
@jgdemerittI don't think the issue has anything to do with you dropping your children as dependents. I have the same problem again this year with my 2024 MA returns, and my children we not dependents either 2023 or 2024. The dialogue asked if I had a carryover from last year (I knew I did), and again said it would carry over automatically - which as we know it does not. So, I entered it manually, my refund increased, and it showed up in the forms, so the manual solution does work. However the bug persists and I don't see a way to report bugs to Turbotax. Disappointing, it is, but if you catch it, it's a minor nuisance.
