I have a similar problem. While preparing my 2024 return, I wanted to use the data from a hard copy of my 2023 return to import it into 2024. I have copies of 2023 and 2024 TurboTax desktop installed. Having only a hard copy of my previously filed 2023 return, it would be very difficult to progress through the TurboTax interview in order to enter the data. I would rather simply open the forms and transpose the data from the hard copy into TurboTax forms. I have found that the fields in the TurboTax 1040 form are either inactive or blued and will not accept data entry. Double clicking on a field takes you to the worksheet view. Attempting to enter data into that worksheet will open another worksheet. The override option is not available for any forms. Is there no way to simple open TurboTax desktop and enter data directly into the fields of a specific IRS form?
