What does "Does the income from last year's return still apply?" mean?

[ToddL99 · Accepted solution]

The TurboTax program asks this question to see if you still need the same tax forms (e.g. W-2, 1099-INT, 1099-R, etc.) this year. This is to make sure you don't overlook any income sources that may still apply to you from the previous tax year.

If you answer "No" to this question, the program will remove the unneeded forms so you won't have to go through unnecessary updates, reviews or interviews.
