Can I file more than one return with self employed 2016 software program? I need to help my sons and my mother-in-law efile.

I don't see the option to start a new return as I have when I have bought the CD version. I was looking into downloading it this year because I don't have a CD drive on my computer.

When you use Turbotax Online version, you can prepare only one return per account/payment. This Turbotax help topic tells you how to start another return:

That is a fundamental difference between the Turbotax Online version, which you access through a web browser, and the CD/Desktop version which installs and runs on your home computer.
With the CD/Desktop version, you can prepare as many returns as you wish just for the price of the box.
