Can you import the data from an original 1040 into the 1040X?

When I open the 1040X form and click  on year, the taxpayer information is populated.  Is there any way to populate the original financial data into the 1040X?  I appreciate any advice

You need to open and put the year in the 1040X THEN make changes to the return for the original and corrected figures to appear in the 1040X....nothing shows until you make the changes.
