I did Plan A, and it seems to be OK for now. Looks like TT2024 is corrupting TT2023 data during import.
The proposed fix:
Reinstall TT2023
Open TT2023 and let it install the latest updates.
Open your 2023 tax return and fix all the erroneous values TT2024 put in there.
You can use your 2023 pdf copy or dig out your 2023 W2's to enter the correct data.
I only had to correct W2 income and SS distributions.
It should now match up with your 2023 pdf copy.
Close 2023 TT
Open 2024 TT and do any updates if requested.
Start a new 2024 return from scratch. Do not use your old corrupt one.
Hopefully you can now get an accurate 2024 return.
