Darn! I totally forgot about that. THere's two ways to get the historical data base, which you absolutely need.
1) Start your return over from scratch, so that you can import it again from the .tax2019 tax file is one way.
2) The other way is to print out the two IRS Form 4562's from the 2019 return (they both print in landscape format) and use that data to manually re-enter the historical data.
Option 2) really isn't as much work as you may think. When you re-enter the property and their assets in the Assets/Depreciation section using the original cost and in service dates, the program will "assume" the prior year depreciation already taken, and figure the 2020 depreciation accordingly. The primary reason for printing out the 4562's from the 2019 tax return, is just to confirm the program's "assumptions" are correct. Sometimes they may be off by a few bucks, and if so that's really not a big deal.
You'll also want to print out the IRS Form 8582 from the 2019 taxes so you can get your carry over losses from 2019 and prior, if/when the program asks you for those. With the new rules (relatively new, anyway) allowing you to deduct up to $25K of passive losses from "other" ordinary income if you qualify, it's perfectly possible you won't have any carry over losses. But it doesn't hurt to check the 8582 from 2019 to make sure.
