2nd turbo tax software package

I do my kids and siblings taxes and need a 2nd turbo tax software package.  If I purchase a 2nd package will I have an issue loading it to the same computer as the 1st one?

You do not need another software package to do another tax return.

Click on File at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on New Tax Return.

If you have Turbotax installed on your computer from a CD or download, you can prepare as many returns as you like for family, as large as you do not charge a fee.  Each return is a separate document, like having more than one spreadsheet file.  However, you can only e-file up to 5 returns.  More than that, and you will have to print and mail them.  This is an IRS limit, not a Turbotax limit.  

 

You should not try to install more than one copy of the Turbotax program -- strange things have been known to happen.  And you don't need to.
