I have six family members (incl myself). How do I use my paid Turbotax Home & Business to e-file six submissions? Do I need an additional copy of the software?

Do I need an additional copy of the software?

 

No. An additional copy of the software will be of no utility. 

 

The IRS limits e-files of individual income tax returns to five when a taxpayer is using consumer-level software (like TurboTax). You can e-file five returns and then print and mail the sixth.

Maybe you can use the Online Free Edition to file for someone?  Or the IRS Free File

Thank you.  Two out of the five are simple returns, I just thought it would be just as easy to use Turbotax software I bought.  Will likely do as you suggest.

Thank you for your prompt and informative response.  Don't understand the logic of the IRS imposing such a limit, I would think it would be a programming limit designed into the software.  Anyway, I'll probably assist two family members in using the free on-line options as theirs are simple tax returns to do.
