The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID.  If you want to start another tax return using the online editions you will need to create a new account, a new User ID and a new email address.

Go to this TurboTax website and click on Sign up to start a new account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

If you are using TurboTax Online, you will not be able to start a second person's return in the same account. You will have to create a new account with a new username/email for the other person. 

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you should be able to 

  • Click File in the top left menu bar (Black bar)
  • Select New Tax Return.
  • Make sure you save the first return with a unique name using File, then Save As to avoid overwriting it.
