2021 software

I tried out the 2021 software only to see how it handled a client's sale of rental property, Form 4797 showed a long capital gain of $320K. But it did not flow over to Sch D. Since this law is same as it was in 2020, I wonder what I did wrong that the capital gain did not go to Sch D or 1040.

Are you saying the gain does not show up on Schedule 1?

If you "Save As" a copy of the 2020 return, does it show up as expected?

If so, your mistake was using the 2021 software this early.  If not, you may be entering something wrong or thinking it should show up differently than it really does.

Normally a LT gain on Form 4797 flows to Sch D long term gain, from where it flows to Sch 1. Neither happened, so perhaps I indeed tried 2021 software too soon. But nothing changed in the law since last year, so I expected Form 4797 - to Sch D - to Sch 1 to work in the 2021 software as before.

It is my understanding that the software starts from scratch each year.

Yes, when I used 2020 software "save as 2021", it worked properly.

Do they really start each year's software "from scratch"?

they did for 2018, but I think theyre building on top of what they have now.
