You are confusing things/years........It says 2018 on the forms....because that is what year is still being filed now thru mid-Oct of 2019.
....2018 taxes are filed in 2019.......the forms are supposed to say 2018 now because that is the year that is being filed. All income and Deductions&Credits that happened 1 Jan 2018 up thru 31 Dec of 2018 are done on 2018 tax forms, usually during 2019, and that is the software that is being provided right now thru mid-October. of 2019
If he filed something last year during 2018, he could only have filed his 2017 taxes last year, and those forms would have 2017 on them.

So if you e-filed his 2018 tax return earlier this year (sometime in Jan-to-now of 2019), and you used his 2018 forms and data, then that is the correct 2018 one. Attempting to redo anything would of course be rejected in an e-file, because it can only be accepted once...and once accepted, nothing else can be e-filed. Onlyu Amended tax returns can be done and "mailed" in by you after that.
Redo- and mail....DON'T...unless you are still confused as to what is a 2018 tax return, and what is a 2019 tax return..... At this point, we can have no idea what you've actually done.....unless you can explain it a bit better.

Some "Preliminary" 2019 tax forms will not come out until Nov-December of 2019...but won't be fully ready for filing until sometime in the coming Feb of 2020 and no 2019 tax returns can be filed until well into 2020.
