If you have the Online Premium version (not called Premiere) you can only do 1 return per account.   If you have the Desktop Premier version yes it can do multiple returns and efile 5 for free.   Go up to File-New Tax Return.   Then….This is important.  If you do another return for someone else like your child and their name is the same or similar to yours then it might overwrite your return.  You have to save each return with different names so you can tell them apart.  Like if your name is John and your son is also named John it will save them with the same name so the second one will overwrite the first return.  Go to File-SaveAs and give it a unique name.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for your quick answer I just created the amendment for $6300 in traditional IRA contribution (for $700 difference)  in turbo tax but have not send anything. Just waiting for someone to advise me what is necessary for me to do. Printout is ready, just need to write the check and send. 

Regarding entering the food expense, the college cost of attendance amount is total of $12,920. Since total rent payments for both semesters will exceed that amount, I thought it simplest to do 529 amount that covered all rent payments made in 2024 ($6,630) and not worry about the food portion. The parents 529 would then pay out $6,290 for second semester (max $12,920-$6,630).   Should food expense still be added to the college expenses screen even though 529 can't cover it?   Working on the other recommendations.

kristinathan So, I would be very grateful if you could please confirm: Situation: Your family of four (parents and 2 dependents).  One dependent mis-filing with an unchecked dependent box. Solution: You fixed the situation with only 2 (two) ID pins for  - One parent (the one filing the return) - One Dependent (the child who mis-filed with an unchecked 'dependent box'.) - You did NOT get ID pins for the spouse nor the other child who filed correctly. After you confirm the above, I would be very grateful if you could also please advise:  - How long after the dependent child submitted an Amended Return did you wait before re-submitting the rejected return with the IP Pins added? Did you resubmit immediately after your Dependent's Amended Return was accepted?  If not, how long afterwards? Many Thanks!    

I don't want to delete ALL of the Childcare info, just the entry for a provider that was carried over from the previous year that was not used for 2024.   I can't get back to a screen that shows the list of providers at all. I just see the screen with both my children listed an amount and the option to Edit or Delete. Clicking edit for the cild in question shows the 'Total Dependent Care Expenses Paid' and a 'Continue' button which takes me back to the previous screen.   How can I get to the list pf providers?

TurboTax will not file these returns for you. If you have completed them and they are ready to file, you will have to either transmit them (Orange button) or print and mail them.   You can try contacting TurboTax Customer service using this link: Turbo Tax Customer Service.
