How do i file 2 returns on the same turbotax account?

[WilsonTR]

If you are using TurboTax Online you can only prepare and file one return per account. If you need to prepare another return, another account will need to be used/created. You can create up to 5 accounts with the same email address. The TurboTax product will need to be purchased under each account.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can prepare and e-file up to 5 federal returns and you can prepare 1 state return (there is an additional fee to e-file the state return). There is only one fee per download/CD.

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

 When you use Desktop TurboTax, which you install from a CD or download to your own hard drive, you can prepare and e-file multiple returns for the cost of the software.  You can e-file up to 5 Federal returns—more if you mail the additional ones.  If you have multiple returns to prepare for family members, Desktop is more cost effective.

Desktop --unless you specifically buy federal  Deluxe only from a retailer-- will include the software for one specific state.   You can prepare as many returns for that state as the number of federal returns you prepare.  E-filing state returns is an extra fee which can be avoided by printing and mailing the states.   Additional--other--state software is an additional fee for the software.
