Using TurboTax Deluxe 2024 for 3 family members

I have TurboTax Deluxe 2024. Can my three family members file their tax using my license and not using my account? If so, how? Thanks to all you big brains for your help.

The TurboTax software license allows you to install the software on up to 5 computers that you own.

You or your family members can use your computer to complete their tax returns. Once you have installed the software and entered the license code, you do not access your TurboTax online account again, regardless of the number of returns being completed on that computer.

In the File menu at the top left of the desktop program screen, click on New Tax Return

No. Once installed, your TurboTax product is linked to your TurboTax account.

The product can be installed on up to 5 computers, but all users will need to log into your TurboTax account.

Please read this TurboTax Help article for more information.

Thank you for your help. Do you know if this is because TurboTax is no longer available on disc? I think I remember in past years giving family members the disc and they were able to install and file on their own computers.

The license requirement has not changed even when the CD was available. It always has been installing the software on computers you, as the purchaser of the software, own. However, many did not either know or care that they were breaking the license.
