Please explain what you are trying to do?  Why are you trying to e-file a return from a flash drive?  You can just e-file it from the software program.

I need to use the data file from my flash drive, however, turbo tax will not allow it be efiled because I hit the limit of 5 efiles under my email so I am using my sisters email and intuit program as there is room to efile from there.  Turbo tax still recognizes the other email though so it is not allowing me to efile.  I do not want to re-enter the entire return.  Can you help?

What file do you have?  The pdf or the .tax2023?  You need to open the .tax2023 file in her Turbo Tax program and file it as normal.  Or did she install Turbo Tax using your License Code?

She has her own install on her laptop with her own license.  I prepared my 2023 taxes in my tt program but due to the 5 limits of efiles, I cannot efile it on my computer.  So I am trying to efile on her laptop but I get the same message - too many efiles.   Is it because it has my email in the data file?

I don't know why.  Sorry.  Unless she is maxed out too.  I don't know where the email is stored in the data file.  How far do you get?  Do you have to log into your account to file?  Like to pay for a state efile?

She is not maxed out.  I need a phone number I can talk to a real person.  I keep getting a machine with dumb answers
