After you file

I don't really see an adequate response to this question.  For as long as I've been using TurboTax, as I go through the process of entering my information, there's always been a column right there on each page showing the values that I had entered for all those same fields the prior year.   I've almost completed my 2021 taxes and I have not seen that feature anywhere nor can I figure out how to activate it.  I've wasted hours poring over last year's return PDF trying to extract that information but obviously the printed return format is nothing like the entry pages in TurboTax.  Monumental waste of time.  Why must software always get worse not better?


On both the TurboTax online editions and the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions there are columns for tax year 2020 and tax year 2021 when in the sections for Wages & Income and Deductions & Credits.

The column for tax year 2020 will have data if the 2020 tax data file was transferred to the 2021 tax return when the 2021 tax return was started.
