Are you trying to import your 2016 1099 info into the 2016 Desktop program? That won't work. Most if not all of the financial companies have taken down the 2016 import files to get ready for 2017.

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?

@miltzohn If you are working on a 2016 tax return, are you using 2016 software? As VolvoGirl said, you can no longer import data for 2016 from financial institutions. It will have to be entered by typing it in.
