I have been filing my son's taxes using TurboTax, but under my intuit account. Is there a way to pull the TurboTax portion of my account out and move it to his own acct?

No.  Each account is only good for 1 return.  So if you did yours and his returns in the same account the last one done will overwrite the first one.  So you may have lost some returns.   You will have to start a new account and leave your account for whoever's return is in it now.  You can use the same email address for 5 accounts and returns. 

 

You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:
Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return

Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return


Or use the Desktop program. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free. And you can use any Desktop version, they all have the same forms. So you could use a lower version than you might need in the Online version.

When you use online TurboTax, every return needs its own account and user ID.  If you use the same account for two returns, the second one overwrites the first one and the first one is lost forever.  With online, you get one return per fee.

 

TurboTax accounts cannot be moved, or combined.   Sorry---you will need to start your son's return over in an account that is just for him.   You can use the same email for up to five accounts, but your son needs his own account and user ID.
