Loading Multiple Versions of Turbo Tax for 2023 on one computer

This would be useful to me, since it appears you cannot run two instances of turbo tax for a single install. The transfer from prior years return is messed up, and I'm having to re-enter everything manually. For a very very simple return, it's saying I cannot e-file which is ridiculous.

I wanted to avoid having to print out the details, and just run two copies side by side, but it won't let me do that, so yes, installing two versions of the same would have been most useful.

Fortunately I think I can run last years alongside this years and transfer the info that way.

Yes, you can load multiple versions; however each version has a license is for one tax return only: state and federal. I am uncertain why you would want to load multiple versions?  If you decide to load multiple versions, please be careful and work on only version at a time.

You are the only one that I have found discussing this. . . 

Is there no other way around this when you own more than 5 Businesses?

Thanks

on one computer you can only e-file 5 business returns using Turbotax Business an IRS limitation not  Turbotax.  mail as many as you like. It now offers online "live" preparation of business returns - but the fees are much higher. since they're filing for you, there may be no return limitation

I've saw A comment on the web (not this forum) about uninstalling the app and then reinstalling and using a second email address. Don't know if this would work and of course, this is a violation of the IRS rules so you may be inviting the IRS to contact you. maybe even penalize you for failing to register as an ERO/ authorized e-file provider.

Intuit does have professional software that would allow you to e-file more than 5 returns. you have to register as an ERO
