    See this TurboTax support FAQ for completing a 2018 tax return originally started with the online editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-finish-a-prior-year-return-that-i-started-in-turbotax-online/00/26322

    If it was rejected for an incorrect AGI--the most common reason -- then it does not matter any more since you only needed that to e-file, and a 2018 return cannot be e-filed now.  A 2018 return has to be printed signed and mailed.  E-filing closed for 2018 returns in October of 2019.

     

    f you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2018 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.

    If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.

    They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday-Friday.

    If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.
