2020 Final Return on 1041 for Partial Year - Help!

Hello!  I have used TurboTax to do the returns for my mother's estate for 2018 and 2019.  In order to close the estate, I need to complete the final estate return for 2020.  It will only be a partial year.

 

I have been trying to figure out how to start a new return using the 2019 software and it is not allowing me to set it up and import all the data in.  I did already submit my 2019 taxes back in Feb 2020 for the estate.

 

Can someone advise me on how to open up the return in the 2019 software for 2020?  I have found other posts stating you don't fill in the dates but that doesn't help me with importing information, calculations, etc.  I really do not want to have to write it all out by hand!!! 

 

Additional information:  I have the Business edition and used it for the 2019 Estate 1041 form.  Also, I am on the Windows platform.  

 

Thank you in advance for any help you can give!!
