How many Federal e-filings can I do with one program?

If I buy the deluxe version, how many times can I e-file with federal ? Can I do mine, my daughters, and my mother's all from one program, or do I need to buy it 3 times?

You are posting from desktop software so you can e-file up to 5 federal returns, and can actually prepare more than that, but any returns after the first five have to be printed and mailed. If you got the Deluxe with state software you can download software for one specific state of your choosing, and also prepare multiple returns for that state. There is a fee to e-file a state return but you can print and mail the state to avoid that e-file fee of $19.99.
