Question

Cannot add return for different person

Hi.  I am trying to prepare returns for myself and my daughter.  I understand that you cannot file two returns on one account and that I need to create a new user ID for the second filing.  

 

However, I cannot figure out how to do this:  if I try to create a new account, once I enter my email address, it says there is an account already registered to that address (which of course there is).  How can I create a second user ID with the same email address?

    The same email address can be used with up to 5 TurboTax online accounts.

    To create a new account with a new User ID, click on Sign up at the following website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

    This does not work.  As soon as I click "Sign Up" it takes me to a screen to enter my email address.  When I enter my address, it indicates that this email has already been used (which of course it has, since I am using that for another account).

     

    How do I create a new user ID using the same email address?

    @sillydog You may already have more accounts.  See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to view your TurboTax accounts - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx
