When using the online versions, you will have to start a new account with a new unique user ID for another tax return. The online editions are only good for completing one tax return per account and user ID.

If you are using the Online version and wanting to file another person's return, you would have to do a new, separate online account (with a different user ID) for each federal return you want to prepare and purchase for each (if you need to use a paid version of the online software). If you do another return under the same username, it will override the one you already filed and lose everything for that return. 

You can still use your same email address (for up to 5 online accounts) if you want to get notifications, but the username must be a new one for each online account you create. 

The CD/Download (desktop version) product is a better overall value for people who prepare tax returns for their friends and family. This one will allow you to prepare and print unlimited federal returns and e-file up to five at no extra cost. You can find the desktop versions here https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

My problem is "how to add a "new account" to my CD/Download Deluxe version.  It is not an online version, and I thought I can supposedly do this?  I want to put my daughter's return on it.

I am trying to add my significant other to my account so it is a joint account, not to do her taxes
