2 tax returns

My son does my taxes on my computer at my house.  He does his taxes on his computer at his house.

Can we purchase only 1 Deluxe download that we can both use.

Yes, you can download and install TurboTax Desktop on up to five computers.  Refer to the TurboTax Help articles Can I install TurboTax on more than one computer? and How many tax returns can I file with TurboTax?

If you purchase Deluxe directly from TurboTax it's the combo version that includes Federal plus a state program download to prepare state returns for 1 state.   If you are purchasing elsewhere, be aware that Deluxe comes in 2 versions--one that is Federal-only, and one that a combo Federal and State, so you have to be careful in that regard.

 

If you do have any state returns and choose to efile, there is a $25 state efile fee for each (except no fee for NY state).   There is no additional fee if you choose to print, sign, date, and mail the state return.
