The software is regularly updated automatically, assuming you are connected to the internet.
Most years, there are a few modules not quite ready on January 1. This year is worse than usual because of the huge changes to the tax laws, plus the government shutdown is affecting the ability of the IRS to implement the changes. But the program will be updated as soon as the IRS allows it. (The IRS has to approve the final forms and instructions for each changed area of tax law, then they have to test and approve each software company's implementation. The IRS also has to update their own computer systems to receive e-filed returns, and may only accept simple returns at first.)
