The license terms technically allow you (the purchaser) to install the program on up to five computers that you own and prepare as many returns as you need to prepare, with the first five able to be e-filed. The license does not allow you to share your copy with four friends or colleagues. So if you are going to try to get around the 5 e-file limit by having your comptroller prepare some of the returns on a separate computer, then under the terms of the license, the comptroller needs to purchase a separate copy.
After that, we can’t guarantee whether the IRS will allow those returns to actually be e-filed. As I said, we don’t know all the details on how the IRS enforces the limit, so we can’t make any guarantees that paying for two copies of TurboTax business will actually accomplish your goal.
You might want to look into Intuit’s professional level software, which does not have the same limitations (although I’m sure it has other rules you would need to follow and I can’t vouch for the cost). https://proconnect.intuit.com
