No. Open last year's program on another monitor. Make sure LY's returns are locked so you don't enter stuff in the wrong year.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Many (not all) of the current year's screens give you last years data in a column to the right.

I agree with sjrcpa and mojocpa, but I go one more step. I make alternate line shading different for each year. I generally like grey, so I reserve it for the current year. Each year with a new year release, I pick some garish color for the now last year. That helps to insure I don't enter into into the wrong year. Settings > Options > Fonts & Colors > Alternate Line Shading.

P.S. Short answer is NO
