END OF YEAR STEPS FOR
ONLINE USERS
Efiling will close on Oct 16, 2017 after which the Online versions will be
closed for 2016 and you won't be able to work on your return or get a copy of
it after Oct 20.
If you have already filed your return I would double check that both federal
and state were accepted here,

If you haven't filed or finished yet you only have until Monday Oct 16 to
finish and efile. If you efile by Oct 16 you should still save
and print out the pdf file NOW so you can mail it in case your efile gets
rejected and you are not able to get it to go through.
If you don't efile by Oct 16 you will have to print and mail it. If
you don't finish your return you will have to switch to the Desktop
program. So you might want to switch NOW. To switch from
online to desktop and continue in the desktop version see this…….

You can buy a cd or download the program here https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download
or look around at stores for sales. Or if you already paid for
the Online version you can call in and ask if they will switch you
over. Contact Customer Service https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number?jump_to=answer_3300041
BEFORE OCT 16
Either way if you have already filed or not filed you should save both the .tax
file and the pdf file to your computer so you will always have access to
it. You might need to amend it or need a copy to get a loan,
etc.
