I have six children, a mother (recently deceased), a father-in-law that lives with me, a great uncle I care for, and I prepare all their forms plus my own. TurboTax only lets me e-file 5 of them, then cuts you off. Is there a fix? Thank you.

The 5 free federal e-files using the TurboTax desktop editions is set by IRS rules for personal tax preparation software. It cannot be increased. To file a tax return after the 5 e-files have been used, it can only be printed and mailed.

You get five federal e-files----that is an IRS limit, not a TurboTax limit. The sixth (or more) return can be printed, signed and mailed instead of being e-filed. That is your "fix."
