You cannot prepare a 2018 return with the Online version.  The Online version is only to prepare the current tax return, which is 2019.

 

To file a 2018 return with TurboTax you need to download the 2018 Desktop software.  Prior year returns cannot be e-filed with TurboTax, they must be mailed.

 

You can purchase the 2018 TurboTax CD/Download software which is available at at the following website
