TurboTax Online

Best answer by xmasbaby0

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee. Each return needs its own account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

When you use Desktop TurboTax, which you install from a CD or download to your own hard drive, you can prepare and e-file multiple returns for the cost of the software. You can e-file up to 5 Federal returns—more if you mail the additional ones. If you have multiple returns to prepare for family members, Desktop is more cost effective.

You did not answer the question. The question is "how can you see how many federal e-files are left on my desktop without prior knowedge of how many e-files were already done?"

Guess I assumed someone who could prepare a tax return could also count backwards from five and figure it out.

I guess you could start the program and go to File-Open and see how many returns are listed in the box. They might say completed or filed or have a check mark on them if they were efiled. Or you could open each one and check the efile history.

To check the filing status,

In the Desktop program open your return and go up to menu item

File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status
