Is there a way I can trick turbo tax into thinking I netfiled a return (which I did).

Situation - I want to refile my 2017 return using the "Change Return" feature so I can do it electronically. My computer crashed in 2018 and I lost all my data except the pdf of my return. I have recreated my 2017 return in Turbo tax 2017. However it won't let me change it because it doesn't think I netfiled it. And to make matters worse, I can't just re-netfile it because there is an error about the expiry of the election to split pension income.
