The tax year cannot be changed. The current online program is only for 2023 returns——no other year.

Sorry but you are too late to use TurboTax for a 2017 return. TurboTax no longer provides nor supports software for 2017. And any refund for tax year 2017 was forfeited several years ago. The IRS will not give you a refund for a 2017 return. If you owe tax for 2017, you owe it with penalties and interest, though.

You can seek local paid tax help or you can prepare the return on a paper form to mail in. Even if the form shows a refund, you will not receive it.

The TurboTax online editions are Only for tax year 2023.

TurboTax does not support tax year 2017.

If you are wanting to file a 2017 tax return for a tax refund, the refund will not be paid. The time to file the 2017 return with a refund expired after three years from the due date of the 2017 return, April 15, 2021.

If you have taxes owed on the 2017 return you need to get the tax return filed and the taxes paid as soon as possible since penalties and interest will continue to accrue until the taxes are paid.

You can seek out a local tax professional in your area to assist you in completing the 2017 return.

Or you can go to the IRS website for prior year forms and schedules to complete and mail the tax return yourself - https://www.irs.gov/prior-year-forms-and-instructions
