You should probably flip it to paper UNLESS all you need to do is go through the verification process through the IRS website. You will need a copy of last year's return to verify information. It you print it and mail it, make sure you sign it and attach any W2's,1099's, with federal withholding and anything else with federal withholding on it to your return. Mail the copy to IRS Kansas City, MO 64999

You will have to paper file. eFiling is no longer an option for prior tax years. Did you file and you need to amend, or did you never file a return?

 

If you never filed, use the link below to purchase the 2017 software and complete your return:

 

File your 2017 Taxes

 

Should you have to amend, follow the steps below:

  1. Log into your TurboTax account
  2. Choose the tax year that you wish to amend
  3. Click Amend
  4. Make any necessary changes

Keep in mind that when you are amending, the refund tracker monitors the difference from your original filing to the amended return. It does not include any original refund or balance due. If you are claiming any previously unclaimed credits, you will see the difference as an additional refund amount.
