When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee. Each return needs its own account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

No. You cannot use the same online account for preparing multiple returns. For online, you can only file one return per account. You will need to create a new account. If you use the desktop version you can e-file up to 5 returns.
