You can no longer prepare (or continue) a tax return for
2017 (or earlier) on-line; also the IRS is no longer accepting e-files for 2017
(or earlier returns).
Returns for previous year(s) MUST be PRINTED and MAILED.
Only the current tax year 2018 can be prepared on-line; only the current tax
year 2018 can be e-filed, after the IRS begins accepting e-files late in
January 2019.
You can purchase the Desktop version (each year that you
need to file) of TTax for previous years at the link below and install it on
your own computer.

EVERY YEAR
TTax shuts down the servers for the on-line version in mid-October to prepare
for the upcoming 2018 tax filing season. At that time any on-line return
that had not been printed, e-filed (successfully), or paid for was
erased. (This has been TTax's policy for many years.)
SPECIAL NOTE:
If you are preparing tax returns for more than one year, DO
NOT mail the returns in the same envelope --the IRS will likely get them mixed
and cause delays.
Also, when mailing tax returns it is a good idea to mail the
returns 'Certified' with 'Return Receipt' so that you will have proof and
tracking of submission.
