Question on import from prior year

Hi, I started a new tax return by importing from prior year. The prior year state refund (New York) and prior year taxes paid that were imported seem to be incorrect. I cannot figure out where the numbers came from -- any ideas, and should I just correct them? (I do not think it makes any difference.)

What's really odd is that this return is for my daughter; when I do my own, it is correct.

Thanks.

If you imported the 2021 return and the numbers are incorrect you can do one of two things.

Delete the return and start over or
Manually correct the information.

Even when transferring in a prior year's return you should review the information to make sure it is correct. If not, manually change the information.

Here are two articles on transferring/importing a prior year's return.
