Yes, one can bring 2019 into 2020, and that brings the saved data to 2020 return…and that would be the presumed starting point.
No way to enter raw data in fields
Many fields in TT2020 (forms view) do not allow raw number input - please tell me i am wrong of how to access. Some do, some require raw number entry on a mini entry screen - ok fine, and others do not allow at all. Had many an email and discussion with support in earlier this year where staff state it is not possible, only way is through the interview questions.
Gap Year
Presuming raw form field data entry was successful, and presuming the 2020 return from CPA was accurate, would you think the 2021 TT return would be whole again with its year-to-year data transfers - the loss carry forward, depreciation etc?

To the person mentioning working with a CPA who works in/with TT, tried that for a few years. Hired someone from here who was/is a CPA.. side gig who was officially hired by Intuit, and he was relatively local if in person meeting were required. Seemed fine and well however was out of his league and suggested one who had more investment real estate experience. New search that started with TT compatibility yet needed to let go of that requirement..,passed through hohum folks/firm, fair number of shysters and finally located a buttoned up firm that we respect.
That said, strong comfort factor in having all data in TurboTax data entry. Last year’s tax requirements were extreme and unlikely to repeat. Want to keep every year in TT regardless of year, who filed etc.
