how to compare joint vs individual filing
I've got TTax Premier for 2021, WINDOWS desktop via CD. I've completed my joint return, using information automatically uploaded from my joint return for 2020. Now I wish to run two more returns using individual status. I've copied and renamed the joint return twice and am removing inputs for the other spouse on each individual return. Works great for most things, and even shows me where I have entries I should remove, but I can't seem to over-write the imported information from last year's return, specifically refunds applied to this year. So each individual return is taking credit for the same large refund applied to estimated tax payments I made as if I were filing jointly. I want to apportion those but it won't let me overwrite. In my case it's the state refund I'm trying to apportion.
If there is no way, is there a way I can start from scratch and not have it upload last year's data? (Probably more work involved than I want to spend.)
OR - is Intuit so good that they give me a way to play what-if-I-filed-individually with my joint return ??
to whoever might answer, thanks!!
