I need help filling out 2017 tax return. I used CPA for 2016.

I have copy of my 2016 tax return. The difference this year (2017) is that, I have established single user LLC and I draw salary from this LLC. So I don't know how would I use Turbo tax. I have never used Turbo tax or any other software before, so need help using turbo tax.

If you do not already have a copy of the 2016 file as amended, obtain this from your CPA.  If yoy itemized last year and it contained a paymen tto the state, You may need this information for the itemized state return. There is no legal requirement for you to use a tax preparation software, but I have found out that this is the most reliable way to legally minimize your taxes due, if any.
