After starting my 2022 Turbo Tax return I noticed none of my previous year"s (2021) Turbo Tax Return data has been imported even though I thought I did.

 

How do I go about importing  my previous years (2021) Turbo Tax Return data now that I have already started and saved the partially complete 2022 return?

    Sorry you can't.   You can only Transfer the prior year at the beginning before you start 2022.    So you would need to start over, go up to File-New.  Or have to manually enter any 2021 info as you go along.

    Sorry, but there is no way to transfer data from the previous year after you have started the tax return. You can only transfer when you first start the return, before you enter any new information.


    How do I transfer last year's return into the 2022 TurboTax software for Mac?

    Sorry---you have to transfer 2021 in to 2022 BEFORE you start entering any new information.  You cannot do that after you have already begun putting in 2022 information.

     

    If you need to transfer, then you will have to start over.

    To start over in the Desktop program you just start a NEW return.  Go up to the very top bar and go to File-New Tax return.   This first return will still be on your computer so give the new return a new name to tell them  apart.   You can have multiple returns in the Desktop program.
