Yes, that is correct. TurboTax Online can only file one Federal Tax return. TurboTax Desktop can file up to 5 returns.  If you used TurboTax Online you will need to create new accounts for each of your kids to file their returns now. 

That cannot be done....sorry. The “summary” given to you by TurboTax must have confused you.  That summary just nets out the difference between a refund you are getting and an amount you owe.   Or it adds two refunds or tax “due” amounts together.     The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other.     Your state tax due cannot be paid from a federal refund.   And….your federal tax due cannot be paid from a state refund.     Neither refund can be used to pay the amount due to the other one.   If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.      If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.    https://www.irs.gov/payments     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-can-i-pay-my-federal-taxes/00/26212     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-payments/help/how-do-i-pay-my-irs-tax-due-with-a-check-or-money-order/00/26403      To apply for a payment plan with the IRS   Apply Online for a Payment Plan     You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0    

Hi, I have this same problem, but on the Desktop version.   I printed my returns to a PDF, but there is no 'cover page' with instructions for Federal filing.   There *is* a cover page with instructions for State filing, however.   Would appreciate any help, thanks.  

If you inherited the home, to report the sale of the house, go to:   - Federal taxes - Wages & income - Scroll down to Investment Income - Click Start next to Stocks, Crytpocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other - Skip the import and then choose Other to enter the information about the sale of the home.    

Your 401(k) contribution amount is reported in Box 12 with Code D of your W-2.  There's nothing else that you need to report on your tax return.   Refer to the TurboTax article Where do I enter my 401(k) or Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) contribution and deduction? for more information.

If you have already filed your taxes, you will have to set up installment payments directly with the IRS.  You can apply for a payment plan (Form 9465) at the IRS Payment Plans and Installment Agreements website.   Click here to Apply online for a payment plan   Your specific tax situation determines which payment options are available to you. Payment options include full payment, a short-term payment plan or a long-term payment plan   The IRS does charge a user fee for setting up or reinstating an installment agreement.   Entering into an installment agreement can provide you with peace of mind that the IRS will not pursue any of the harshest collection methods at its disposal, but interest and penalty charges will continue to accrue on your unpaid tax balances     Click here for "Facts about IRS Payment Plans
