No, you would have to mail in the return & you cannot file a 2017 return with the Online version.  The Online version is only to prepare the current years tax return.  To file a 2017 return with TurboTax you would need to the 2017 Desktop version.  You can purchase the software at the following website:

To complete and file a 2017 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2017 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

 

A 2017 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

WHile you can use the CD version of TurboTax 2017  to prepare and print your 2017 tax return, you can not e-file it. The IRS says you can not e-file a prior year tax return. You have to print, sign and mail it to the IRS.
