Our recommendation is to create two new accounts.
You do have the option of having the first-named taxpayer, the taxpayer who was listed on the top line of the tax return, of continuing to use the TurboTax account. You have to be very careful to remove all outdated information pertaining to your ex-spouse. But because of the possibility of missing some information that needs to be removed, we recommend against this.
The second-named taxpayer always has to start a new account. For several reasons, the account can’t be cloned or duplicated, and the second-named taxpayer can’t move their name to the top in the same account.
