I'm using TurboTax Deluxe 2016, and selected "file new return", but it keeps referencing 2017 tax details.

Unfortunately, no you can not use an older version to file this year's taxes. Each year requires it's own version. Here is information on how you can get this year's TurboTax.

I can not afford to replace my computer and pay for the software such an upgrade would require. I have looked at doing this and the cost is in excess of $1000. Turbotax has decided to make this whole tax thing difficult by following the industry's greedy money-grab protocol of new computer and operating system every couple years for no real reason. What in filing your taxes has become so difficult that a whole new computer and operating system is required?

Ok, I know this "rant" will go un-answered and more likely not even read by anyone... much less someone who cares and can do anything about the problem.

It looks like I will be looking for another tax filing solution and if I must, I will file manually. At least that does not change, unless the gov requires you to file is Spanish or some forgotten dialect.

@ikearat If your Mac does not meet the requirements for the 2019 TurboTax software, you can use the TurboTax online editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/
