In order to start a return for another family member, you will want to set up a separate TurboTax account for each return that needs to be filed. Only one tax return can be filed per TurboTax online account.

Follow the steps below to create a new TurboTax online account:


The IRS requires a tax return to be filed for your daughter if she has:
  • unearned income was over $1,050
  • earned income was over $6,300, or
  • earned and unearned income together total more than the larger of (1) $1,050, or (2) total earned income (up to $6,300) plus $350.
