Filing Child's Return using same Deluxe Download

JCAT1 — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 00:43:11 GMT

I purchased and downloaded TurboTax Deluxe from Amazon (Federal and 1 free state). I filed my taxes, and now want to file my child's taxes. How do I use the downloaded version to start a new return for my child without having to pay another fee? I read another post that said it needs a new username, but that prompted me to pay again. Thanks.

If you are using the Desktop version (which you install on your own computer) simply open/launch the program and select the BLUE "Start a New Return" button (or select "New Return" under the "File" tab in the menu bar) near the center of the window; TTax should then save each return with a unique filename based on the first name listed on the actual return. Multiple returns are no problem and no additional cost. The IRS limits you to 5 e-filed returns; however you can print and mail additional returns.

Thanks! And I can import her 2018 return and it won't overwrite my 2019, right?

Correct ... pay attention to the file name so you transfer the correct one.
