How to file a second return online

I bought Turbo Tax Premiere with Fed/State direct download at Amazon. When I went to download it, it said my computer isn't compatible so I'd have to use it online instead of the desktop version.  I finished and filed my daughter's tax return with no problem--Amazon's confirmation code worked just fine via the Intuit account I've had for at least ten years.  When I went to start on my own tax return, I couldn't find where to do so.  I finally got a call from a human at TT and they said I'd have to file my own under a different account (?!). So I created a new Intuit account but when I went to enter my confirmation code it wouldn't accept it, saying that code is linked to another account (doh).  So how do I file another return using my purchased software?!

The desktop version of TurboTax can be used to file as many as five returns using one download with the license code.  Unfortunately, a TurboTax online account is limited to one tax return per year, so the confirmation code that you received from Amazon will only work for the one return that you've already filed.
