No.  There is new software each year, written to comply with the tax laws in effect for the specific tax year.  You need 2017 software to prepare a 2017 tax return.

No. The software is updated yearly due to new tax laws every year; so you have to buy the current version each year in order to file a new return for current tax year. Prior year software will not work for preparing a current tax year return. See below for more details.
