Sorry. In my message I was VERY clear that the filing status for 2019 was MFJ, not MFS or something else. It's listed as MFJ on the IRS website. It's listed as MFJ on the carryover worksheet. It was MFJ for 2018. There have been no changes in filing status for 5 years! The program asks for the prior year's filing status before it asks you to enter the AGIs. If it knows that the filing was MFJ, it should not ask for both. Period. It's not using the information it already asked for and has in hand. BAD programming! Your examples are fine but not relevant to my situation.
Thanks for your help! I sincerely appreciate the assistance you kind folks provide.
