What are you trying to do, just get a copy of your return?  Or are you trying to transfer it into 2018?

To unlock a prior year you only need to add Plus for 19.99.   What is the status of your 2018 return?  Which version did you use?  We might be able to tell you how to go back to the Free Edition to add Plus.
