Oh no, perhaps I wasn't clear. I was in the hospital for many months and needed my 2017 quickly done by a friend so I could use that return money to pay some bills. I knew at the time I would need to, at some point after I recovered, amend the return to include many deductions from a couple of side jobs I had to offset some 1099's. So I need to recreate the 2017 1040 in TurboTax, save it, print it, then reopen it to be able to amend it.
So I ignored the information TT brought forward from previous years because I know the original needed to be EXACTLY as the one already submitted. But once I go to amend the newly recreated 2017 1040, so that those figures could transfer to the 2017 1040X, TT no longer shows me the figures from 2016 and earlier to bring forward. For instance, all of my vehicle information and depreciation for various equipment just kind of disappeared. It seems like because I didn't use that information, or claim those vehicles, on the original 1040, which I had just recreated, that I must not need need them any more and TT does not give me the figures to work with to carry forward credits and depreciation to the 2017 1040X or on to future years.
Does that make better sense?
