You are correct that the 5 e-file limit cannot be bypassed by purchasing another copy of the desktop program. You can use the desktop program to prepare as many returns as you want, but more than five will have to be printed and mailed to the IRS.
There may be a way to work around the 5 e-file limit, but we don’t know exactly how the IRS enforces this limit and it would be inappropriate of me to provide speculation on how to evade regulations.
Becoming a ProSeries user is impractical for most people, because you would have to get a professional tax preparer ID number from the IRS.
