Ok ... first for the online program only ... they changed the returns when they added the unemployment & PTC changes to the program but then changed it back so that the AGI from the original return would be passed thru to the 2021 program to make efiling easier.
But then they put the changes back to make the return reflect the changes the IRS will eventually make to the return so that those who need to amend the return has the column A on the 1040X correct place to start.
However this is not really as helpful as it sounds like because when the return was updated by the 2 changes not only did it update the credits already on the return it ALSO added ones that were not on the original return which is what needs to be amended to add those so this year's mid season changes have made a total mess of things ... we can thank congress for the impossible position a lot of people find themselves in.
