Due to tax law changes, each version of TurboTax is specific to one tax year.</P><P>When using <B>TurboTax for Desktop</B>, it's best to <B>save a copy of your filed return</B> before you enter any information for an amended return. This ensures that you have the original filed return to use next year, in case you don't file the amended return.</P><P>If you <B>do not file an amended return</B>, nothing changes with regard to either 2016 or 2017.&nbsp;</P><BLOCKQUOTE> <P>It's unlikely a filed amended 2016 return would affect 2017 unless you had carryover losses to apply to 2017. In that case, you would also file an amended 2017 return.</P> </BLOCKQUOTE><P><B>Save the final version of your filed 2017 tax return in a safe place</B> (and back up to the cloud or on a flash drive). You will need that file when you begin your tax return next year.</P> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 20:09:38 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/yes-if-you-need-to-amend-your-2016-tax-return-you-will/01/342306#M67554 PatriciaV 2019-06-03T20:09:38Z
