I am re-filing 2016 so that I can owe much less. I expect a lot back for 2018. Which should I file first? Or does it matter?

It doesn't matter.

Even if you are creating a carry forward loss, that would need to be manually entered between products. 

Your 2016 amended return be completed in TurboTax CD/Download; it will need to be printed and mailed.
