Each tax year has its own specific software. Updating the 2018 software does not change it to 2019. Go ahead and update it before you prepare your 2018 return.
After you prepare your 2018 return, you will need to select the option to print and file by mail, since e-filing is closed for 2018.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
