I need to amend 2022 to just simply change accounting type for inventory and I accidentally deleted stuff like home office costs etc. and I don’t remember how exactly it was plugged into the TurboTax UI and I don’t want to amend after things are shifted around the wrong way. I have the premium plan and spoke to a bunch of people today and seemingly no one will help me take my 2022 return and plug it back into TurboTax UI to bring it back to exactly how it was. There is no reset, undo, or restore to default option. This is an absolute nightmare. The last thing I need is a bunch of pointless stuff shifted around on my amended return because I forgot how I entered it through TurboTax’s very specific UI. Any suggestions?

Make a copy of your original tax return file and put it in a safe place before biginning AMEND.

Otherwise, it is a nightmare.

Did you use the Online version? Do you have the Desktop program?

If you used the Online version for a prior year. To get back to the original return you need to download the .tax2022 file and install the Desktop program to open it. Then you can delete the amended return and take out the changes to put it back.

In the Desktop program all you have to do is go to Forms mode and delete the 1040X. Then take the changes out.
