It's possible to prepay for the 2017 Federal return. You'd also have to start a State return to prepay the State return (if any.)
However, bear in mind that it's often hard for many people to qualify to deduct the TurboTax fees. First, one has to be able to itemize deductions on Schedule A. So the total of all deductions must exceed the standard deduction. And tax prep expenses are in the category "2% miscellaneous deductions", which means they only count when the total of those miscellaneous deductions is greater than 2% of AGI. So unless one can itemize and has a lot of miscellaneous deductions (employee job expenses, job search expenses, tax prep fees, investment expenses, etc.), then the TurboTax fees would not count.
