Yeah....I know that's an issue form folks who get and use the program early (meaning before mid-late-January)
TTX doesn't "implement" the new year's changes until much later than people expect.....many times not until well into January. This is how TTX has operated for more than 20 years, and I don't expect them to change it in the future (but who knows....miracles happen)

In Desktop software only
For Federal taxes: For the next year's estimates and predictions, I find it much better to just use the "What If" form from the previous year's (2021) Desktop software, and then check the box at the top of the column to use the next year's tax settings. This is usually close enough.
For State taxes: Since state forms aren't normally ready in December (Again using desktop software) you would have to do a Save-AS of the prior year's file to a "Test2022" file name in the 2021 software . Make the changes you expect for 2022 in that 2021 file, and see what happens in the state section.
(This can also work most years for Federal, BUT with all the EIP/Child Credit changes between 2021 and 2022, I'm not sure how far off the result might be this time)
