How can I start a 2nd return for my father after I have completed my own tax return? I see no place to create a new return online like there is on the desktop version.

It says on the box that you can create and file up to 5 returns but I do not see how to do this online. I have the Turbo Tax Deluxe that I bought at Sam's Club.

You do not get five e-files with online TurboTax.   You only get five e-files with desktop download software.

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.

Each return needs its own email, account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

When using the TurboTax online editions you can only complete and file one tax return per account and User ID.  For another tax return you would need to create a new account with a new User ID and a new email address.

The TurboTax desktop editions where you install the software on your personal computer, Window or Mac, you get 5 free federal e-files included with the software.  After the 5 are used, you can create, print and mail as many other tax returns as needed.

If you purchased desktop software at Sam's, why are you using online instead?   Did you purchase the desktop software and then realize your computer did not meet the system requirements to use the desktop software?   What made you switch to online?   Switching to online will be more expensive if you have multiple returns to prepare for other family members.
