I do my return and all of my family on the turbo tax deluxe. You are allowed 5 federal files. You just open a new file for each filer.
Never start another return using the ONLINE program by going back and overwriting everything in the return you just filed. This will replace your info, which means you won't be able to retrieve your return later.
Follow this procedure instead:
Instructions1. Sign out of TurboTax Online.
2. Select the TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return and proceed.
3. On the Create your account screen, set up a new login for the second return.
o You can reuse your email address if you want to receive e-file notifications for the second return.
o Up to 5 accounts can be tied to the same email address.
4. After you've created the new account, you can start working on the second return.
Tip: If you're preparing multiple returns for family members, it's more economical to switch to the TurboTax CD/Download software, which lets you e-file up to 5 federal returns at no additional cost. More info
