I don't understand the part of your run-on question that says "almost 2018" since no one is filing for 2018--folks are beginning to prepare 2017 returns which they will file in 2018. It appears that you have desktop software. When you start a new return using desktop software your are asked right at the beginning if you want to transfer your 2016 information in to your 2017 return. Did you use desktop software for your 2016 return?

If you mean that you are trying to import 2017 data such as your W-2, 1099R's etc, it is too soon. Those will not be available until around the end of January or early February.
