I purchased TurboTax Deluxe. I'm allowed 5 Federal returns, but after I started my first one, it won't let me start another one?

When I click on "start a new return", the program shuts down.

With TurboTax Online (Deluxe), you can file one federal  tax return and five state tax returns. Refer to the TurboTax Help article How many tax returns can I file with TurboTax?

 

With TurboTax Desktop, you can file up to five federal tax returns and three state tax returns.

You may need to do a manual update.
