The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2020
If your only income from working as an employee was only $800 there is no reason to file a 2018 tax return unless you had taxes withheld and want a tax refund. Or you had state Marketplace Insurance and received a Form 1095-A then you need to file.
Or if your income was from self-employment then you are required to file a tax return.
To complete and file a 2018 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2018 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2018 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.
If you are trying to use the online program STOP. Online is for 2020 returns only--no other year.
If you want to file a 2018 tax return for free use the paper forms and prepare them by hand. It would cost you $80 to buy the software now.

But----what kind of income did you receive in 2018? Was it self-employment income? Or did you get a W-2 with tax withheld that you are hoping to get back? Why are you filing a tax return if you only had $800 of income that year? Did someone else claim you as a dependent? If you were someone else's dependent you are not going to get a stimulus check based on filing that 2018 return.
