You do Not amend the 2016 tax return if it was never filed.  You complete and file the 2016 return.

If you didn't file a 2016 return you do not amend it.  You just finish and mail the original return.

You can only buy the download for prior years. You have to buy a separate program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on. You can buy any version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions. Buy the download here

Prior year returns can only be printed and mailed. When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return.

And don't forget state.

No.  You have to use the Desktop program and print and mail it to the IRS yourself.  See my post above again.
