With desktop download, the IRS limit is five federal e-files. It is not a TurboTax limit. You cannot e-file more than five. If you are preparing more than five with desktop download software the other returns can be filed by mail.

If you are using online TurboTax, you pay for each return; separate fees for federal and state. Each return needs it own email, account and user ID.

The maximum returns you can e-file with TurboTax is a maximum of five federal tax returns per account or email address.

How many tax returns can I file with TurboTax?
