I have Turbo Tax Home and Business. Is there a limit as to how many returns I can file for family and friends?

With any of the desktop versions of the software you can e-file up to 5 federal returns.  If you  have more than 5 family members to prepare returns for, their returns have to be printed, signed and mailed.

Your software includes the program for one state; there is an extra fee if you e-file the state return.  You can print sign and mail the state returns to avoid that e-file fee.

Hello,

I have:  2019 Home & Business  CD loaded into computer

There are two family members here. Two separate returns.

 

Question is for State return only.

With one State Return allowed, does that mean only one of us will be able to complete a State Return using the Turbo Tax cd?    And one of us will not have a State Return?

Thank you.

This inquiry can be ignored.  Xmasbaby, you just replied to me at another posting.

Thanks so much!

No.  You can prepare all the state returns.

 

You get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns.  Then each state return (including the first one) is 19.99 to efile, usually goes up to 24.99 March 1.  Or you can print and mail state for free.

 

Then if you need to do a state return for a different state you need to buy that state program.  Like if you do a Massachusetts return and then need to do a New York Return.

Hi VolvoGirl,

Thank you. That is very helpful.   That Start screen should say that you are allowed One State (vs. more than one state) to create State Return for your version of TT.   

What a difference!

Thanks again.
