Install my disc for 2019 Home & Business. Used it and efiled 5 returns. I uninstalled it and put in a new disc for home & business. It never asks for the license code on the new disc. I get an error stating I used my 5 efiles already. This is retarded. How do I add the new license code???

@bigd89117   Sorry you can only efile 5 returns.  You can't get more by installing another program.  5 is a IRS limit.

 

5 efiles is an IRS limit per computer and email address.  I think it's to prevent fraud and people filing a lot of fake returns.

 

And to prepare more than five e-files, you will need to sign up with the IRS as an ERO - an Electronic Returns Originator.  How to become an Authorized E-file Provider…..

Because everything was not totally removed from your PC. If you go into regedit, you  will find remnants of the app
