Incorrect Number in 1099-MISC Box for Previous Year

I used TurboTax Home and Business for 2020, and now again for 2021. As I'm finishing up 2021, I noticed that under my personal income under the Income from Form 1099-MISC, it shows a number that it has imported for 2020 over over $16,000. I thought this was odd, because I didn't have any 1099-MISC's in 2020. I had one small 1099-K and my business had some 1099-NEC's, but neither had any 1099-MISC forms.  I opened up the 2020 software and my return and verified that $0 was entered in that section in 2020. Then I searched the actual 2020 return for the number reported. Nothing came up. I thought maybe something had gotten messed up here, so I started fresh with a new 2021 return and imported the 2020 return again. It still put that number in the previous year 1099-MISC line as soon as I did the import.

 

I have no idea where this number is coming from, or why it's saying I had 1099-MISC income from 2020. Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?
