Can I install TT Business on the same computer that has TT Premier installed and use both independently?

Correct

thanks

And you don’t need both personal programs.  Premier can do everything as Home & Business and has the same forms.  You just get more help in Home & Business.  And the Desktop programs can prepare unlimited returns.

can premier make a w2 for household employees?

[DoninGA]

No

I have home and business installed for my son and I am trying to install premier for myself but it is not letting me

[DoninGA]

You cannot install the 2017 Premier edition and the 2017 Home & Business editions on the same computer.

[VolvoGirl]

The Home & Business program has everything that Premier has and all the Desktop programs can do more than 1 return so you don’t need another program.  Just start a new return in Home & Business, go up to File - New Tax Return.  But first save his return with a name you can tell apart from your name (especially if you have the same first names).  Go to File-Save As.

Yes.

They are independent, and you can have multiple years installed aslso

[snyder]

not years.. the same tax year

[DoninGA]

You cannot install the 2017 Deluxe edition and the 2017 Home & Business editions on the same computer.
You can install one of the 2017 personal editions and the 2017 Business Edition on the same computer.
The TurboTax personal desktop editions are Basic, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business

[snyder]

So I have the Premier one and the Home and Business.. they CAN NOT be on the same computer?

[DoninGA]

For the same tax year, No.
Why do you have both of these programs?  The Premier and the Home & Business editions have all the same forms, schedules and worksheets.

[snyder]

Home and Business  I want to use for me because I am self-employed... and I do some taxes for people I have bought several programs of the premier one to use on different computer too..

[DoninGA]

Using the desktop editions you can create and complete as many tax returns as needed without charge after the purchase of the software.  There are 5 free federal e-files included with the desktop edition (the number set by IRS rules).  After the 5 e-files the federal returns can be printed and mailed.
