After you file
I did not say import. I said transfer. And....if you do not have a printed copy of your 2020 return my suggestion to use Forms mode will not help you. Sorry. If you do not know what your original 2020 return said, then you may be out of luck at this moment. You might have to give up on fixing the 2020 return for now, and just start 2021 from scratch without transferring any 2020 information in, since you messed up your 2020 return. Do you have the 2021 software? If you cannot finish preparing the 2021 return tonight and e-file it by midnight then you will have to send it in by mail at a later time. If you are getting a refund there is no penalty for missing the deadline.
Later, when you are calm, and have time to deal with 2020, you can pay the IRS for a copy of your original 2020 return.
You can pay the IRS $43 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s
