Incorrect 2 Year Comparison

On my 2022 Federal Returns, the system is doing a 2 Year comparison.  The data for 2021 is incorrect.  I am not sure where it is coming from but It is not my data.  Also, It makes my returns look awfully suspicious because of the big swing in income and deductions.  Can I remove the incorrect data?

Can I remove the incorrect data?

Maybe someone who uses Turbotax can tell you how but why do you need to? That information is for your use and doesn't get transmitted to the IRS.

The two-year comparison is not part of your tax return. It's just for your information. If it's wrong, you can just ignore it.


I assume you must be using the CD/Download TurboTax software for 2022. You can open the Two-Year Comparison in forms mode and delete or change the entries in the 2021 column.


The entries shown in green in the 2021 column were transferred from your 2021 tax return when you started your 2022 tax return. You might have transferred from the wrong 2021 file.
