Right. Once you download and install the state Program it is there to use for all returns. Your return is not kept in the program. Each return (federal & state) are in a data file ending in .tax2020. You will save the ,tax2020 file for each person's return. Federal and state returns are in the same data file. So be sure to save each federal return with a name you can tell apart from other people. Read my post above about saving returns for people with similar names.
Just do the first return and you will see how it is. Save frequently. Your returns are only stored and saved on that computer. When you are done save your return as both a tax2020 file and a PDF file and back them up to a flash drive or burn a CD, etc. You will need the file ending in .tax2020 to transfer into next year.
