Can I update turbotax Business 2015 to 2016 So I can file the correct 1120S

It says it comes with 5 e-files. I assumed that meant I could file 2015-2019. Was I wrong? I cannot find anywhere where this issue is discussed.

No, you cannot update from one year to the next.  A TurboTax software product is only good for the one tax year it was written for.   Every tax year requires a new product purchase.     A 2015 return requires 2015 software; a 2016 return requires 2016 software; etc.   Any reference to 5 free Federal efiles means one can efile 5 returns for that same tax year. 

You can purchase the Business product from TurboTax at the link below, or you may be able to find it at a discount in a store locally or at reputable authorized retailers such as Amazon, etc.
