When you asked your original question I believe you were asking from Mac OS 10.13. Now it looks like you used a phone or portable device to post your latest comment.
But you are using OS 10.13, correct?
In any case, 2016 software was written prior to Mac OS 10.13. There is a known issue with the crash when answering "How do you want your refund?" It is unlikely to be updated by TurboTax since it is an old software year and was engineered prior to OS 10.13.
The workaround is enter the info on how you want your Fed refund in FORMS MODE on the Federal Information Worksheet, Part V. To get to that worksheet, in the left column forms list it will simply show as "Info Wks."
It's still possible to get a 2016 Federal refund by direct deposit, if you wish. The 2016 return cannot be efiled, however. It has to be printed, signed, and mailed.
@ macuser_22 is familiar with this issue and how to use the worksheet workaround. Macuser_22, are you able to review this thread when you are next in the forum? Thanks!
