The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID. You will have to create a new account with a new User ID if you want to complete and file another tax return.

Go to this website and click on Sign up to create another account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

If you use TurboTax Online, you can file one federal return with up to five state returns per Intuit Account.

If you use TurboTax Desktop, you can file five federal returns with up to three state returns each.

No more than five Intuit accounts and five corresponding federal returns (for example, for a family of five) may be created, purchased, and filed using any one email address.

Per IRS rules, you can only e-file up to five federal returns using the same email address or phone number with personal tax return preparation products.

See this TurboTax Help.

Wow...this is going to cause some major problems for:

1) Parents attempting to create an account for a teen's/minor's W-2 , or working SE income (or UTMA account when minimum $$ amounts are exceeded)

2) Divorced folks who now need to create a separate tax file/accounts.

3) Other reasons for a second/third account.....strange MFS reasons.

___________________________________

OF course, for #1, maybe they use the child's/teen's email to start...then change it back to the parent's email in the "Intuit Account" later? Or will that be rejected now too.....Certainly for a minor/teenager, a parent doesn't want the kid filing himself...maybe not until sometime during or after college.
