I did not file 2016 tax using desktop software but online. Now how do I file 2017 without purchasing new software?

WHEN did you prepare and file a 2016 return online?

You can try using the Free Edition online. If you have a simple return that can be filed on a 1040EZ or 1040A you can file for free. But you cannot enter any itemized deductions, foreign income, HSA, or self-employment income in that version.
