I purchased Turbo Tax home and Business and is downloaded on my desktop computer. I just purchased Turbo tax deluxe desktop edition on Amazon but when I tried to put it on my desktop it want to remove my business program and I do not want that. Any ideas?

You can't have two different personal versions of TurboTax on the same computer (e.g., TurboTax Premier and TurboTax Home & Business).

You can have a personal version and TurboTax Business on the same computer, however.

TurboTax Home & Business can do everything that Deluxe can do. There should be no need to have both.

Actually you can do unlimited returns in the Desktop program. You can only efile 5. That is a IRS limit. How did you have 2 programs before?

There is a way to have 2 licenses. Under Help - Switch Product - Activate new product. Don't know what that will do or what benefit you will get. Don't think it will allow you to efile more than 5 or get another free state.

Using two different programs will not allow you to bypass the IRS limit of 5 e-files.
