You appear to be using TTax On-Line --NOT the
downloaded desktop version that is installed on YOUR computer.
If you are using the On-Line version, one of the features is that
the user ID/account can be used for ONE and only one tax return --e-filed
or printed/mailed. (Has always been this way)
If you need (or try) to prepare more than one return you MUST create a new
user ID/account and pay for EACH return --if you want to use the
on-line version. The same e-mail address can be used for multiple DIFFERENT
account ID's.
If you try to prepare a second return using the same ID you will overwrite
all data for the first return
and it will be lost forever; thus if the IRS challenges your first
return you will no longer have a basis
to respond to questions.
Starting another return (with the Online version)

If you are using the Desktop version (which you install on your own
computer) simply open/launch the program and select the BLUE "Start a
New Return" button (or select "New Return" under the
"File" tab in the menu bar) near the center of the window; TTax
should then save each return with a unique filename based on the first name
listed on the actual return. Multiple returns are no problem and no
additional cost. The IRS limits you to 5 e-filed returns; however you can
print and mail additional returns.
You can purchase CD (or Download) from TTax at this link:

You should also be aware that many retailers (on-line and storefront)
frequently sell TTax CDs and/or downloads for less. MAKE SURE that the retailer is well
known and not simply a ‘pop-up’ fraudster.
If it is really cheap, it probably is not legitimate.
