Time dilation is the difference in time between the observer and how fast the object is moving, for those who didn't know what it meant in the first place...

So if you don't know anything about Voyager I, it was launched into space on September 5, 1977, and is already in the interstellar space zone, traveling at around 61,200 KM/h (we will be using 17 KM/s). This is all the info we need for the following equation listed below.

t = t0/(1-v2/c2)1/2

We then substitute the variables with the information we have...

t = ‪38.4544832306639‬/(1-(0.00005c)/c2)1/2

OK, we now have a equation to solve, so once we get though the process of doing that...

t = 38.4544832306639/(1-0.00005c)1/2
--the rest of this equation was done with a calculator, I'm not in high school yet so I don't know much about these topics.

t = 0.0000000316881 years ≈ 1 second

So tl;dr: Voyager I is "one second" ahead of us in time, one second in the future.
