Can I use my turbo tax account to file a tax return for my dad?

I don't see anywhere that I can Add Another Return for 2025 (I've already filed mine).

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.

Each return needs its own email, account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

Online is only good for 1 return per account. Don’t use your account or you will overwrite your return and it will be gone. And you have to pay for each account separately so it might get expensive.

You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:

Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return
Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return

The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 federal for free. You can buy the Desktop Download program directly from Turbo Tax

For 2025 You will need Windows 11 or Mac OS Sonoma 14 or later
