Not from the same computer, email address or IP address. Another copy doss not allow 5 more e-files as that limit is set by the IRS. There are several methods to enforce the 5 limit.
OK - thank you. I have seen that answer before when searching this subject. No one here is submitting more than 5 returns. It's just that six separate people used the software to complete their returns, not one person submitting others' returns. I just need to start over using a new copy or I guess another brand if needed, so that I can efile mine. It would be my own, different, email, and my own, different PC. I didn't file the other five returns, but family members did.
Of course, this will be a different PC, email, but it might be in the same house. I would hope that will work. I do not want the hassle of filing by mail at this point.

The 5 is per software package, not person.

If it uses the same internet connection then the IP address will probably be the same and it will not be allowed.
