Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Can I file my son's taxes under my turbotax account or do I need a separate one. He is a high schooler who works so the taxes are pretty simple for him?

You need to create a new separate account for your son if you are using the online version.  If you try to use the same account, the information will overwrite what was there and you would not be able to e-file again.

 

If you use the desktop version you can e-file up to 5 federal returns with one program.

Do multiple returns

Can I file multiple returns with TurboTax?

 

Online is only good for 1 return per account.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   Start an Online return here,

The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5.  You can buy the Desktop CD/Download program at

Would I be charged twice to file my son's tax return and mine????  His is very simple I would imagine it would be free with turbo tax if I set up an online account for him.
