You would have to do a separate online account (with a different user ID) for each return you want to prepare and purchase for each, if you need to use a paid version of the software. If you use your user ID, it will override your personal return and remove your information. 

You can still use your same email address if you want to get notifications, but the username must be a new one for each online account you create. 

NOTE: The CD/Download (desktop version) product is a better overall value for people who prepare tax returns for their friends and family. This one will allow you to prepare and print unlimited federal returns and e-file up to five at no extra cost. You can find the desktop versions here https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/
