Where to find an address to send 2017 taxes? Do I need to fill out a form before sending them if I owe money?

My dad claimed me as a dependent in 2017 because I am still in school. He never told me I also had to file a return for myself until this year. He is not claiming me on 2018 taxes but my 2018 return got rejected because I did not file for 2017. So now I am behind on both years. How do I figure out where to send the 2017 taxes? I have filled them out and printed them but I am not finding an address to mail them in to.. Also is there a form I have to fill out before I mail everything in? I think I will owe about $500 before any late penalties.

Since you didn't file 2017 then put down 0 for the AGI to efile 2018.  File each year separately.   You can still efile 2018 until Oct 15.  If you are getting a refund it's ok to file late.  If you owe any penalty or interest the IRS will send you a bill.

The instruction sheet that prints with your return should say where to mail it.  Where to mail federal paper returns

Don't forget your state.  State goes to a different place.

And how did you prepare 2017?  Online is only good for the current year 2018 so you would have to use the Desktop CD/Download program installed on a computer.
