I need to take care of 2016 taxes first. How do I start with that?

I didn't file 2016 taxes. I am trying to take care of them before I work on 2017. How do I do that?

You'll need to purchase the 2016 TurboTax CD/download and install it on your computer.  2016 is now considered a prior year's return and cannot be e-filed.  It must be printed and mailed.  See the linked information below for purchasing the 2016 software of your choice.

If, by chance, you started your 2016 return in TurboTax online and want to access information you've already entered, you can follow the instructions below:
