When I save my tax file for 2023, turbotax puts 2024 in the front. Why? Shouldn't it save as 2023???

I am doing my 2023 taxes, but when I save the file, it saves as 2024. This is definitely an error! If I change it, the program will continue to save it as 2024, instead of 2023 as it should be named.

1)  Desktop or Online software??

 2)   Is this the raw datafile ending ".tax2023" ??

......or is it the PDF file ?

3)  or is it just the starting text of the name of the file?

I certainly don't see it happening at all with my Desktop software, unless I did an initial Save-As , and put the 2024 in myself...Like maybe I accidentally forced a Save-As "2024_MyTaxes.xxxxx".  But that would be my mistake.

it is the starting text

Don't know why...but certainly do a separate Save-As with a more proper file name. Then delete that older mis-named file  (Assumign you haven't actually filed yet.)

I tried my Desktop Premier (Windows) with a newly created test file, and the Save default started with the expected "2023" text.

Wonder too if there is some strange autocorrect setting on your computer system...but that's a pretty remote idea.
