Si se puede presentar la declaracion de este año sin haber presentado declaracion del año anterior.   No se necesita esperar a presentar la declaracion anterior antes de presentar la de este año. Recuerde que para este año, existen nuevas deducciones gracias a los cambios de ley, cuales puedes ver aqui (OBBBA), que le podrian beneficar.   Para presentar su declaracion de este año, cuande le pregunten por su ingreso bruto ajustado, escriba cero (0), como el IRS no tiene un numero registrado.   Si tiene los documentos del año anterior debe de considerar presentar esa declaracion tambien, porque si le deben dinero, tiene tiempo limitado para reclamarlo. Y, si debe dinero, detendra la acumulacion de multas.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.      You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. This means waiting until the payment submitted with the tax return has been processed, or your refund has been received.  You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.  Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.   The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due  Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.  You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment   

Thank you for your feedback.  You mentioned there could be a loss.  Though I have not lived there for decades, it is still a personal residence that a couple of my still siblings live in.  Do the tax rules allow me to take a loss in those circumstances?

You have me thinking differently now. The program is working. The first form, shows the dividends on line 12 - refund $1146. The next form shows a zero on line 12 exempt dividends and the refund is higher. This does not make sense at first look. Let's go deeper. Look at your 1099-DIV box 13, maybe some of it is not exempt due to AMT. Social security benefits change the taxable amount due to the increased income In Forms mode look at the changes and compare: check line 2a is correct exempt interest and not on line 2b line 6b, taxable social security benefits - is that changing? form 6251, AMT - alternative minimum tax, look at line 2g form 1040, line 16 - if your taxable income did not go up, it could be a reduction in credit, like EIC or CTC, or it was AMT

Did you enter it in the contribution section?  A rollover or conversion is not a contribution.  When you enter the 1099-R for the distribution from the traditional IRA, the program will then ask what you did with the money, and one of the choices is a Roth conversion.
