If I still see last year's numbers on the screen after I've put in this year's numbers, does that mean that there's a glitch? I'm using Turbo Tax Self-Employed (Expenses

I'm on the Expenses screen for Self-Employment, and it shows what I put in last year, and what I put in this year (if I hit "Show more.")  It won't let me delete last year's info, and it doesn't show this year's info first.  How do I know if the new information is being computed? Very frustrating.

Last year's numbers are transferred from your last year's tax return and are displayed on your screen for comparative purposes only. They also remind you what expenses you deducted last year and how much so that you do not overlook any expenses this year.

 

You cannot change last year's numbers but can rest assured that TurboTax has kept all the numbers that you have entered for this year.
