Online only supports one return per account.

You have to setup another account to do your son's return but you can use the same email address for up to five accounts. Each return incurs a separate charge unless you can use the Free Edition.

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.

Each return needs its own email, account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

First, you have to determine if your son qualifies to be your dependent or if he can file his own return.

If your son earned more than $15,750 (for 2025), then you must create a new account for him. Use another email address for your son’s return, so it doesn’t replace your existing return.
