Is it legal to file my friend's taxes on my computer ?

I purchased Turbotax CD deluxe version recently. It allows up to 5 federal e-files. 

Are those e-files only limited to family members? Is it legal to file my friends's taxes on my computer ?

No. You will violate the TurboTax license agreement if you install TurboTax on a friend’s computer. TurboTax allows you to :

1. install TurboTax on up to five (5) computers owned by you (at home or at work); 
2. use TurboTax only to prepare, print and/or electronically file your federal 2021 tax year returns and related state tax returns for the applicable tax return year during which you purchased a license to use TurboTax; and
3. make one backup copy of TurboTax for your personal use as permitted under your license.

Can I install TurboTax on more than one computer?

Hi @ErnieS0 , Thanks for your reply. Is it legal to file my friend's taxes on my computer?

Yes, you can use TurboTax installed on your computer to file any five tax returns that you wish.  

It only becomes a violation of the user agreement if the program were installed on a computer not owned by you.
