NO!!!!!! The current online software is only for a 2017 tax return. Your W-2 has to say 2017 on it.

Do not use a 2016 W-2 in the online software.

Do you need to file a 2016 tax return? Post back if you have not yet filed your 2016 tax return and we will tell you what to do.

No. We are doing our 2017 returns. You need a 2017 W2. Or do you mean for the AGI at the end when you file?

How to find the AGI, it is not on your W2

To complete and file a 2016 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer, Win or Mac, one of the 2016 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

A 2016 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

Prior year returns can only be printed and mailed. 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.

And don't forget state.
