With online program, can returns be submitted for more than on person?

No, the online version cannot prepare multiple returns in the same account.   Only one Federal return can be prepared per online account per year.   Each return needs a separate account, separate User ID, and separate fee (if applicable).  If you try to prepare a second return in the same account, it will overwrite the first one.

The desktop versions (CD/download), however, can prepare multiple returns with 5 free Federal efiles.   Some of the desktop products also include a state program for preparing state returns.  There is a 24.99 state efile fee (except free for New York state.)  There is no fee to print and mail the state returns.
