No, not the same account--that's a no-no!!  You need separate accounts.  But you can use the same email address in the profile (Account Settings) of the second account to receive notifications.  But you cannot use the same User ID.    Each account can only prepare 1 Federal return per year.

 

You cannot use the same account for a second return.  If you try to prepare a second return in the same account, it will overwrite your original return and make it unrecoverable.

 

The second return would need to be prepared in a separate account (separate User ID).   You can use the same email address for notification purposes in up to 5 accounts, but each User ID has to be unique.

Not the same account, but you can use the same email address on multiple accounts.   Each return needs its own user ID and password when using TurboTax Online.  Create a new account (new user ID and password) for your son's return.    You can file one federal tax return per Online account.
