First of all do you mean to get ready for NEXT year 2019 program?  Or are you asking about a current 2018 return you are doing now in 2019?   Actually it doesn't matter.  Each year is totally separate.  If you don't want an incorrect return transferring into the next year then just don't transfer from it.  Start a brand new return.  Your return is kept in the .tax2018 file and not stored in the program.    So you can even delete the wrong .taxyyyy file. ...

Yes.   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.   Buy the download here       https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   You have to print and mail prior year returns.   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.   Don’t forget state.   Important!   Mail Federal and State in separate envelopes and mail each year in separate envelopes.   If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline.  You have 3 years to file for a refund.   If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.   How to file a prior year https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984     ...

Are you married and filed Joint?  And you both had W2s?  The IRS is probably right.  They usually are in this case.  You assigned both spouse's W2 to the same person so it looked like that person went over the max.   For 2018.   Do you still have copies of all the W2s?  Look at box 4.  Did either of you have more than 1 employer?  You only get excess SS back if one person had more than 1 employer and those employers took out more than the max of   $7,960.80.   So add up your W2 box 4.   Is it more?   Then add up your spouse's W2 box 4.   Is their box 4 more than $7,960.80?   Or check W2 box 12.   You may have entered Code A by mistake.    THEN for 2019 if you transfer over from 2018 you should delete ALL the W2s and re-enter them from scratch making sure to assign them to the right spouse.     ...
