No, that won't make sense to the program. If you finished the paperwork in 2017, but did not start using the loan until 2018,
enter 0 in box 2 for the 01.01.2018 balance and 01.02.2018 for the origination date in Box 3.
The program won't like 0 in box 2 but if you enter a 2018 origination date you can move forward and it's the only way you can move forward without a balance carried forward from 2017.
