The TurboTax software for tax year 2019 is normally available in mid-November for the desktop editions and in early December for the online editions.

Are you using anything to keep track of your income and expenses?  There is QuickBooks Self Employment bundle you can check out which includes one Turbo Tax Online Self Employed  return....

Did you use the TurboTax online editions to complete and e-file the 2017 tax return?  If so, then the tax return will either be rejected by the IRS or the IRS will be sending you a letter in a few weeks asking why the tax data on the 2019 tax return does not match any tax data received by the IRS for your name and SS number.

The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2019.

You need to remove all of the 2017 tax data you entered on the 2019 tax return.  Enter the 2019 tax data, complete the 2019 return and then print the 2019 so you can mail the 2019 tax return to the IRS.  It cannot be e-filed since the 2019 return, with incorrect tax data, has already been accepted by the IRS.

 

To complete a 2017 tax return using TurboTax you will need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2017 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/2017

A 2017 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Yes.  Online is only for 2019 .  Start here

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/ 

 

or you can buy the Desktop CD/Download program

ps....This is a new forum layout. Some posts that have June 2019 dates are really older posts from the old forum that got moved over. So they might be for prior years and not current info. When they migrated over the dates got changed to June 2019. And the screen shots got deleted.

Yes, you will manually enter your tax information through the TurboTax interview process.  When you are done TurboTax will guide your through the process to e-file your tax returns.
