Retirement - I retired in 2017. Do I list my occupation as it was at the beginning of 2017 or as retired?

Just enter it as retired. The IRS really doesn't care what you put in the occupation box, just so long as your pay your taxes. You'd be surprised at some of the entries I've seen in the occupation box, and the IRS didn't even bat an eyelash.
