I purchased and downloaded TurboTax Deluxe from Amazon (Federal and 1 free state). I filed my taxes, and now want to file my child's taxes. How do I use the downloaded version to start a new return for my child without having to pay another fee? I read another post that said it needs a new username, but that prompted me to pay again. Thanks.

Correct ... pay attention to the file name so you transfer the correct one.

If you are using the Desktop version (which you install on your own computer) simply open/launch the program and select the BLUE "Start a New Return" button (or select "New Return" under the "File" tab in the menu bar) near the center of the window; TTax should then save each return with a unique filename based on the first name listed on the actual return. Multiple returns are no problem and no additional cost. The IRS limits you to 5 e-filed returns; however you can print and mail additional returns.
