Yes, you can complete both tax returns, but you can no longer file 2017 using TurboTax Online.
TurboTax Online only supports the filing of 2018 tax returns.
The IRS is no longer accepting 2017 tax returns for e-file, so you will need to finish your preparation, print and mail using Turbo Tax CD/Download. You can convert your 2017 online file to the product you need. Here is how:
Here is how to transfer from TurboTax Online to
TurboTax Desktop:
1. Save your online return as a tax data file.
2. Sign out of
TurboTax Online.
3. Install your
2017 TurboTax software.
o If you have not purchased TurboTax
Desktop software, click here to select the product you need to complete
your return.
o Important: If your
return includes a state, make sure you also install the corresponding state
program(s), otherwise you'll get Error 539.
4. Once
installed, choose File > Open
Tax Return in the software program.
5. Browse
to where you saved your .tax2017 file and click Open.
6. If you get an
error, delete your tax data file and repeat these steps from the beginning.
When you complete your 2018 tax return, you will report your 2017 AGI as $0 because the IRS is receiving your tax return after October, 2018.
