You can't use TurboTax Online to file more than one person's income tax return(s) but you can use the TurboTax CD\Download version.

The CD/Download product is a better overall value for people who prepare tax returns for their friends and family.

  • In accordance with IRS regulations, 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.
  • For returns with multiple states, you can e-file up to three (3) states per federal return; the rest must be paper-filed (which probably isn't a big deal, as many nonresident state returns can't be e-filed anyway).

Additional information: What's the difference between TurboTax Online and the TurboTax CD/Download?

If you want to do all the income tax returns online, create a new accounts for your family members:

 Never start another return by going back and overwriting everything in the return you just filed. This will replace your info, which means you won't be able to retrieve your return later.

  1. Sign out of TurboTax Online.
  2. Select the TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return and proceed.
  3. On the Create your account screen, set up a new login for the second return.
    • You can reuse your email address if you want to receive e-file notifications for the second return.
    • Up to 5 accounts can be tied to the same email address.
  4. After you've created the new account, you can start working on the second return.
