Question

I have amended a 2018 return to show Trad IRA contributions, but my 2019 return is not showing those changes in the prior year column. What have I done wrong?

When did you amend 2018?    After Oct 15, 2019, 2018 returns could not be amended online, and only on a desktop computer.  In any,event, amended returns can only be printed and mailed.  If you transferred 2018 data into the 2019 return the  amended values will probably not transfer.

I was going to amend now, but I'm not sure the value. the system is penalizing me for too much distribution it appears because of the timing of deposits.

In order to get the new information to transfer to 2019, the information must have been in the 2018 program prior to you starting the 2019 return.  As previously stated the amendment should have been completed before October 15, 2019 in the online program.
