Can I use the site to work them out? I need the instruction that filling the forms out on the site gives me.
@Patt9156 Do you need to fill out a 2017 return or finish one you started online? You have to print and mail prior year returns.

You can only buy the download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. Buy the download here

You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.
Important! Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. You have 3 years to file for a refund. 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.
How to file a prior year
Since it is now 2019, to prepare a 2017 tax return, you would need to buy and download the 2017 TurboTax program and install it on your computer. Here is a link to buy it: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A prior year tax return such as 2017 must be printed, signed and mailed. It cannot be efiled.
