Can I use Auto-fill more than once without having data duplicated or otherwise having problems?

The first Auto-fill I did was incomplete - some T slips were missing. I'd like to get those missing slips but don't want those that have already downloaded into my TurboTax files to be duplicated or otherwise corrupted. Can I simply do another Auto-fill without this happening?

Each time you use Auto-Fill My Return, TurboTax will download everything available. TurboTax will summarize what's available to import into your return and you can choose to import it in or not, slip by slip. In other words, you can't pick and choose boxes, but you can pick and choose which slips to import.

That being said, TurboTax won't duplicate the slips you've already downloaded and imported if you import again, so long as you didn't significantly change the amounts of the slips you already imported. TurboTax will recognize that you already imported those slips.
