Unfortunately, the least expensive version of the TT software available to you to prepare a 2017 return now is Deluxe. You waited past the filing deadline so you cannot use online software now, nor can you e-file. Online tax prep and e-filing for 2017 is permanently closed. The "free" option would be to get the forms from the IRS and prepare them by hand.
If you need to prepare a return for 2015, 2016, or 2017 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.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
