TurboTax 2021 is using the wrong .tax2020 file for last year's data

[graystones]

Is there a way to change which file Turbotax 2021 is using to base last year's data off of? I'm almost finished with my 2021 taxes and realized it's using a previously saved copy of my 2020 returns, but not the actual return I filed. I could substitute it with the PDF of the actual return that was filed, but I do not know how to swap it out without starting a new return. I do not want to do that.

If you are using a desktop, windows version, you can try

Using File Explorer and finding all the files with .tax2020 extension.  Use the Search text box to do this.

Then rename the incorrect file name (not the extension).

Ensure your .tax2021 file has exactly the same name as your final .tax2020 file.

Close turbotax, and reopen it.

Hopefully, turbotax will then use the correct tax file for 2020.

NOTE:  If other data from your .tax2020 file changed, you may have imported incorrect numbers for other data as well.  You may want to recheck all of your forms and data that used 2020 data.
