how to file a second tax return in a calendar year

I am treasurer of a c corp business started in February 2020. I took over in January 2021 and taxes had not been filed. since we are an education-based "business", it made sense for our fiscal year to be over at the end of May. so I filed taxes in February for the short 2020 year, February through May, with 'penalty'- no problem. But now it's time to file for June 2020-May 2021. When I go into TurboTax it asks for the last year's tax file, but it wants a 2019 and mine is a 2020. I tried to start without the file, but then it thinks I didn't file for February-May 2020. Surely there is some way to do this, but I'm not finding answers yet. Thank you!!
