Your 2016 return will have to be printed, signed and mailed.  If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty of rfiling late.  If you owe taxes, get it sent ASAP--your penalties and interest are accruing.

must I purchase the software or can I simply download the file from the TurboTax website?

If you did not already pay your TurboTax fees then you have to purchase the software.  If you did pay your TT fees then you can contact customer support and ask them to push a download of the desktop software to you.
