Can I file a second return for my mother?

I bought the software, and I think I can create a second tax return for my mom, but I want to make sure I don't screw up the return I just prepared for myself! thanks!

You can use the TurboTax software to e-file up to five (5) federal tax returns. You can prepare as many returns as you want, but only five can be e-filed.


To Start a new return, be sure to save your tax return first.  Then:

1. After saving your tax return.

2. Go to File

3. Select "New Tax Return"

4. It will ask if you want to save tax return

5. Select Continue

Only one return can be prepared on each account when using the online product. You must create a new account and pay again (unless using the free edition) to prepare another return. The CD is a better bargain for preparing multiple returns.
