I checked the box for "did not attempt to rent this property" since we sold it in January of 2021. It said I should remove the property so I said yes and it removed my entire Schedule E but when I went to home sale that is for primary homes only. Is there anyway to get my schedule E back in my 2021 return with all my carryover depreciation, etc.? We've had that rental property carrying over in TurboTax for years and I don't want to mess it up by trying to take the 2020 printed return and re-enter everything by hand.
No, once it's deleted I'm not aware of any way to get it back. However, you could start a new 2021 return, transfer your 2020 .tax file and re-enter your 2021 information. That way, you'll have all the prior years' depreciation without having to manually re-enter your depreciation amounts.
With the online version of the program, the only way to get the rental history back is to clear the return and start over. Only then can you re-import the information anew.
Note that if you have already paid your online TTX fees, then the option to clear and start over is not possible.
