Are you using online TurboTax? Why not use the CD/download if you are preparing so many returns? Do you not have a full PC or Mac that meets the system requirements?
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.
Depending on which TurboTax online edition will be needed, it may be less expensive to use the TurboTax desktop CD/Download edition since you can do an unlimited number of tax returns.
Go to this TurboTax website for the desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/
When using the TurboTax online editions, you must create a new account with a new User ID for each tax return you need to complete and file. The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID. You can use the same email address on up to 5 online accounts.
