1) IF, and only if you are using the desktop software every year
The first thing I'd do is go back to your 2020 tax program, and carefully select & open the exact file you transferred into this year's 2021 program and check it's History report.
IF that is fully filled in....close that one down. Then start a new 2021 Test tax file , and carefully select that exact 2020 tax file...then .tax2020 datafile and transfer it in, get in a ways and see what's in that history report. ((((( DO NOT TRANSFER A 2020 PDF FILE....that is totally useless for almost everything except Name, SSN address and last year's AGI)

2) IF you are using eh "Online" software every year, go down to the 2020 file, and download a NEW PDF file form 2020 taxes...and check to see if it's History report is fully filled in or not. IF it is, then the absence of the 2020 data in the 2021 History is a puzzle. (unless you changed course and transferred in last year's PDF tax file...which you should never do....but taking in the prior year PDF file requires extra work in the Online software)
