If you are using TurboTax Online, you cannot prepare and file a tax return for another person using an existing TurboTax account. You'll need to create a new account for yourself, distinct from the account you used to file your son's return last year.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can start a new return for yourself by clicking on Start a new return on the Welcome page of TurboTax.

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee. Each return needs its own account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.
