I said I want to amend my 2022 return, not my 2021 return.
The 2021 return was done by a professional accountant using some other software, not TurboTax.
I want to recreate the 2021 in TurboTax to make sure it matches what the accountant did, and then if it matches, then use that to generate carry forwards to my 2022, which I have already filed via TurboTax, but I can file an amendment if the carry forwards really results in a difference in tax liability.
The professionally prepared 2021 has a lot of extra taxes that are related to my investments, and it's better if I let the TurboTax software handle the carry forwards instead of overriding TurboTax when I run it on your cloud servers to insert the carry forwards, which in fact I have not been able to do, hence this need to recreate my 2021 tax return in TurboTax in order to re-do my 2022 return with the software-provided carry forwards.
I have read that I must download the 2021 TurboTax and run it on my own computer, which I will do. But after the 2021 is all filled in (but of course I'll not send it to the IRS), how do I feed that info into the online version of TurboTax 2022 to start my amendment? Or does that require me to download TurboTax 2022 to do the amendment instead of doing it online?
Are there discounts or freebies in any of the 2021 TurboTax software, since it'll not be used to submit a filing but only to prepare carry forwards into 2022?
