I filed extension thru TurboTax Self-Emp 2016, but missed the 10/15/16 deadline. I do not need to amend, but file.What R my options on a Mac and to file for the 1st time?

I went to log on to TurboTax, and the only options are to file 2017.  I need to file my 2016 first, and the site provides instructions to amend - download the file, download the desktop version (Windows only), log in using same credentials, and amend, then submit.  

I do not need to amend my 2016 return, since I have not filed yet.

I'm filed an extension thru TurboTax Self-Employed 2016, but missed the 10/15 deadline to file for 2016 and am using a Mac. I do not need to amend my 2016, but file my taxes. What are my options on a Mac and to file for the first time?
