I forgot to claim IRA deductions for 2016 & 2017 and I exceeded the $5,500 limit for 2017. Do I need to amend the 2016 and 2017 returns BEFORE I file my 2018 return?

I completely forgot to claim deductions for my 2016 and 2017 tax returns, so will I have to pay penalties after I send the amended returns? Will the amended returns affect my 2018 return?

It's better to file your earlier returns first.

You won't have to pay a penalty if you're getting money back for 2016 and 2017

The amended returns (in this case) will not effect your 2018 return.
