Filing a return for short year

My corporation dissolved on 1/31/21 (it was previously calendar year). I need to file a short year final return for the period 1/1/21 to 1/31/21. I know this requires using a 2020 form 1120.  But 2020 TurboTax will not allow me to enter a tax period that does not begin in 2020.  Is there any way to use TurboTax for this short year return?

Yes, but you have to prepare the return as you would normally, print out the return and manually correct the date, and then mail the return.
