If you use TurboTax Desktop, you can e-file up to five federal tax returns. With TurboTax Online, you can file one federal  tax return and up to five state tax returns. 

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help article How many tax returns can I file with TurboTax?

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help articles: Can I file multiple returns with TurboTax? and Can I install TurboTax on more than one computer?

If you purchased one of the TurboTax desktop editions to be installed on a personal computer that you own, there are 5 free federal e-filed included in the program.  After the 5 e-files have been used then any further tax returns can only be printed and mailed.

If you are asking if the Download Desktop program still has 5 returns, it does.  The download is exactly the same as the CD.  It’s just the method you use to install it.

If you want a CD you can now buy an install CD for $10 AFTER you buy the download and License Code for the version you want. That’s if you don’t want to use the download method or want to reinstall or install it another computer.
