There is no free filing option for 2017 after October 15, 2018. If you don't have to file a state tax return you could use TurboTax Basic, which is less expensive than Deluxe. But if you need the state, Deluxe is your best option. You can't buy Basic for 2017 on TurboTax.com, but you can find it at a reputable online seller that still has TurboTax Basic for 2017 in stock. You might also get a lower price for Deluxe from a reputable online seller that still has TurboTax Deluxe for 2017 in stock. Deluxe comes in two versions, with or without the state. TurboTax.com sells it only with the state included. If you buy it from another source, make sure you get the version that includes the state. Read the product description or the box carefully.
