How do I add my children's individual filings on my download?

Yes, if you are using the TurboTax CD/Download desktop version, you can create as many tax returns as you like and e-file up to 5 federal returns.

If you filed using the desktop version last year, when TurboTax asks you to start a return, choose the "Find a Tax File" option to open last year's return. You'll need to navigate to the folder on your computer where the .tax2015 file is stored. This option will bring all the prior year info into the current year return. 

Or you can create a new return from scratch using "Start a New Return."
