There used to be a previous year to current year comparison showing highlights of your taxes such as gross, net, tax rate, and so on. Now I can't find any info like that.

I don't really see an adequate response to this question.  For as long as I've been using TurboTax, as I go through the process of entering my information, there's always been a column right there on each page showing the values that I had entered for all those same fields the prior year.   I've almost completed my 2021 taxes and I have not seen that feature anywhere nor can I figure out how to activate it.  I've wasted hours poring over last year's return PDF trying to extract that information but obviously the printed return format is nothing like the entry pages in TurboTax.  Monumental waste of time.  Why must software always get worse not better?

On both the TurboTax online editions and the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions there are columns for tax year 2020 and tax year 2021 when in the sections for Wages & Income and Deductions & Credits.

The column for tax year 2020 will have data if the 2020 tax data file was transferred to the 2021 tax return when the 2021 tax return was started.

I'm using the downloaded/desktop version for 2022.  I transferred data from TTax 2021 to start.  The column is there to compare 2022 with 2021 but it is greyed out - apparently no data.  How do you get it to populate?

Thanks,

Have you completed your 2022 return? @Ketch

WHEN DOING BUSINESS INCOME AND EXPENSES THERE USED TO BE LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR TO COMPARE INFORMATION? WHY IS MY LAST YEARS INFO GONE?

If you do not see your prior year's tax return data, it might be in a different TurboTax account. You can check to see if you have multiple accounts by following the steps in the below TurboTax help article.

How many Intuit accounts do I have with TurboTax?
