if you're using desktop versions for 21 and 22 there's no need to open 2021 to transfer to 2022 as a matter of fact you can't have 2021 open. you open 2022 app and you'll see a blue icon "begin". click on it and it should find the 2021 return. if there's more than one listed click on the blue icon that says "transfer return" and that should result in 2021 data being transferred to 2022. click on the blue "continue" icon and you should be ready to enter the 2022 data.
