1040X doesn't load 2019 tax info

I need to file a 1040x.  I'm using a Mac computer with the downloaded version of Turbo Tax Home and Business and have filed my 1040 return. I need to add dividends that I left off my original return.  It looks like I have to re-load all the information including name, address, SS number, W-2's etc into the 1040x.  Is there a way to import that info from the return I already filed instead of re-entering it?  

It looks like I have to re-load all the information including name, address, SS number, W-2's etc into the 1040x.   Right now looks like the best option is to just modify my 1040 to get the correct numbers(refund, new income, affects my state tax too) and fill out the 1040x by hand.  It would be nice to be able to bring in the info I already entered for the 1040 form into the 1040x form in Turbo Tax.

    I had trouble with which "Search" to use.  By clicking the "Search Topics" Icon in the middle of the menu bar and typing "amended" it started the amendment automatically.  

    Thanks!
