You cannot e-file a 2017 tax return until sometime after January 1, 2018.  You cannot file your tax return until you have received all the Forms W-2 and Forms 1099 which are not available until late January or in February.

The forms and schedules for your tax return have not yet been finalized.  Click on the Review section of the program for a list of your forms and schedules that need to be finalized and the estimated date when available.

The IRS has not announced a date when they will start accepting 2017 tax returns - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-on-2018-filing-season-start-date

The IRS has announced that they will be holding any tax return with a tax refund which includes either the Earned Income Credit or the Additonal Child Tax Credit until mid- February 2018 (the same hold period as last year) - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/refund-timing
