Each TurboTax account is for one tax return. If you are filing separately, you would need to create another account for your spouse. Please see the steps below for creating another account in TurboTax Online.
In TurboTax Online,
you can prepare and e-file one federal and up to five associated state
returns using the same email address
but a different login for each account.
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.
Follow this
procedure to create another TurboTax Online account/login:
- Sign out of your current
TurboTax Online account/login.
-
Select the TurboTax Online product you want to use for the
second return and proceed.
- 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.
After you've created
the new account/login, you can start working on the second return.
If you are planning
to prepare more than one return, you may want to consider purchasing a
TurboTax CD/Download as you get 5 free federal e-files with it. You
can transfer your information from TurboTax Online to TurboTax CD/Download by following
