Get your taxes done using TurboTax

"Your daughter can access the TurboTax account  that you created when you downloaded the program to your laptop."

 

This account is different (in your case) from using the Online TurboTax product.

 

To download the software, she will need to log in to your TurboTax account.

 

However, when you use the CD/download software, the tax return is saved on the computer that you are running the software on, not on a TurboTax server.

 

Thus, you and your daughter will not be able to see each other's returns, because they will be saved on different computers.

 

NOTE: it is important that neither one of you start to use the TurboTax Online software, because this will be stored on a TurboTax server and will be visible to anyone with the login credentials.

 

Once you download and install the CD/download software, you can log off the TurboTax account unless you need to ask questions here in the Community.
