New to Turbotax - Can I manually enter prior tax filings?

[Pixelrogue2]

• Yes, using TurboTax 2020 desktop.
• Going through the interview process, no matter what combinations of data unable to get to match filed return.
• YES - how do I MANUALLY sit down and enter data field-by-field? Laborious however that is the goal now.

There should be a way to zip down and enter data cell-by-cell and that is proving mysterious, not working.

After all that is done, need to somehow import the saved [product key removed]rds and depreciation sheets. Topic for a future thread.

The 2021 return has an incorrect 2020 IRA distribution in the income summary table for 2020. What worksheet do I need to edit to correct the 2020 IRA distribution.

If there is an incorrect IRA distribution in your 2021 return, type '1099-R'  in the Search window, then click on 'Jump to 1099-R.'

At the 'Review your 1099 Info' page, use the Trash Can Icon at the right to delete the incorrect entry. 

If you have an incorrect IRA Carryover from 2020, this amount shows on the IRA Information Worksheet.

You need to be able to do this if you want TurboTax to file an amended return for that year.

I need to manually enter tax data

As was stated in an earlier thread here, if you are using TurboTax online, there is no method to manually enter prior year data.  To have prior year data show to be comparative to current year data or for reminders of what you entered in 2021, you will need to download and install the desktop version of TurboTax and enter the information as if you are preparing your prior year return and then transfer the prior year data in to the 2022 tax software.

Cumbersome and probably annoying yes, but there is no other way.

I have included a link to acquire/download the 2021 TurboTax Desktop software.
