error on old return

On my 2013 Form 8801 line 19 was entered $209,510, which was said to be "2012 credit carryforward from your 2012 Form 8801, line 28."  However on my 2012 Form 8801 Line 28 was blank.  I am unable to find the source of that entry in 2013, and I believe this entry in 2013 was erroneous.  It has been carried forward by TurboTax in subsequent years, reducing by several thousand dollars each year, to $162,751 in 2019.   2019 has been audited by IRS and resulted in penalties.  

 

Is there any other explanation for the 2013 entry?  If not, and if it was an error, how can I remove it in this and subsequent year returns.
