During the federal review, I have a to-do list that asks me to "Check this Entry."
It brings up a partially completed form 8801 (for this tax year 2019).
It asks me to enter values from my prior year (2018) Form 6251 and Form 8801 Information Smart Worksheet.
But in 2018, I didn't have a form 6251 or 8801....
How can I fill in a value for a form that I never submitted?
Or perhaps I have to backtrack and do this worksheet for 2018?
I am assuming this means there's a mistake somewhere in the program, but not sure what to do with this...

Can you get 2019 TurboTax to fill out form 8801 for use with 2020 taxes
Yes, as I just did a quick walk through of a "mock return" I have set up in my TurboTax Desktop for employees. What you want to do is to click on the "Form" icon at the top right of your screen when you're in your return. Once you do that, to the left a menu of your already populated forms will appear. Just above that, you will see an icon "Open Form", click on that and then enter 8801 and it will then open a pop up window giving you the option to add the 8801 to your forms. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
