Are you using the desktop software or the online version? This can only be done with the desktop software.

@lfbarrett Are you using the Online version or did you download and install the Desktop program? Online is only good for 1 return per account. And you need a different email address for each account.

You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:
Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return

Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return

Or use the Desktop program. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free. And you can use any Desktop version, they all have the same forms. So you could use a lower version than you might need in the Online version. For Desktop just go up to File-New tax return.
