Each of those will be a separate return. Do not try to combine income from different tax years in any way at all--do not even try to mail them in the same envelope.
The ONLY year that you can prepare using the current online program is 2019. Any other years must be prepared using the purchased desktop software for each individual year. All desktop software has all of the forms and schedules needed so try starting with Deluxe and upgrade only if you need to.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2016, 2017, or 2018 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

To complete and file prior year tax returns, 2016 thru 2018, you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the desktop editions for each tax year needed from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
Prior year tax returns can only be printed and mailed, they cannot be e-filed. The TurboTax desktop editions for the prior years all have the same forms, schedules and worksheets so Schedule C-EZ is included. When mailing multiple tax years use a separate envelope for each year.
Only the 2019 tax return can be e-filed.
The TurboTax online editions for tax year can be used for tax year 2019, but you would need at a minimum the Deluxe editon to report the self-employment income if NOT entering any business expenses. Otherwise you would need the Self-Employed online edition to report self-employed income and expenses on a Schedule C. The Schedule C-EZ is not longer used beginning in tax year 2019 - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/
Any of the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions for 2019 can be used to report self-employment income and expenses. However, the Home & Business edition is recommended - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/
