Yes you do . Online preparation and e-filing for 2016 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

Only a 2017 return can be prepared online and e-filed. 

 If you need to prepare a return for 2014, 2015, or 2016 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s)

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

You can download the Forms and Instructions from the IRS web site:

Yes. Although E-filing is closed for 2016, you can  Prepare your 2016 tax return  using  Turbo Tax downloadable desktop (PC or MAC) software!

Be sure to prepare your state return as well, provided  you live in a state that has a state income tax.

Also, when you mail in your prepared tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  It's a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified USPS. This way you will know when the IRS has received the return.
