You have to sign onto the 2025 TurboTax online account using the same User ID that was used for the 2024 TurboTax online account.  The 2024 tax data will transfer to the 2025 return at the time you sign onto the account.

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version. You need to have the prior year .tax2024 file on your computer. Expand the link if you used the Desktop software last year........

If you already started an online return you will have to clear it and start over to transfer. How to clear and start over

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and may not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. The Online versions don't have all the same forms so you might have to upgrade to a higher Online version. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.
