Is anybody else having problems with TurboTax messing up their data this year? I keep getting duplicate W-2, and data from 2019 that I told it doesn't apply.

I've been trying to do my 2020 returns, and it keeps pulling in data from 2019. It keeps trying to get me to fill in self employment information for a job I only had in 2019. It keeps trying to get me to fill out unemployment information for unemployment my wife got in 2019. When I use the import function for 1099-divs, it duplicates the forms, and then when I try to delete them, when it does the final double check, it tells me that there's missing information. It said I qualified for a tax break for car registration even though I know that's not the case in Oregon. Basically my question is, I've had so many problems this year getting my information in, I'm not confident that TurboTax has gotten it right this year and am seriously considering getting my returns done someplace else. Has anybody else had problems with their returns this year? Is there some way to get some clarity on if I can trust TurboTax didn't screw it up this year?

And it wanted me to claim a tax credit for renewing my car registration, even though that doesn't apply in my state...

Seriously... after the final review, now it's added in two 1099-NEC's to my income, one blank, the other a duplicate from my 2019 filing, and it's added in my charitable contributions from 2019 onto my 2020 return.

And I should specify, I didn't have ANY self employment income for 2020.
