It depends. If you mean that you had an extension for your 2016 tax return but haven't filed it yet, you can still file it.

But to prepare it using TurboTax, you'd have to purchase the software for 2016 returns HERE. You can only use TurboTax Online to prepare your return for 2017, and you can't add your 2016 information to this year's return.
