You can't install two different disks or TurboTax CD/Download products on one computer. If you have two disks/CD/Download, you will have to install each disk/CD/Download on separate computers.

If you have a TurboTax disk/CD/\Download, you can do as many different income tax returns as you want. You should be able to create tax forms for you and for your mother, using one of the disks.

  • The CD/Download product is a better overall value for people who prepare tax returns for their friends and family. It allows you to prepare and print unlimited federal returns and e-file up to five at no extra cost.


After finishing a return in the TurboTax software, you can easily start another one with the simple instructions below.

  1. Open your TurboTax program.
  2. From the File menu in the upper left corner, choose New Tax Return.
    • If you presently have a return open, you'll be prompted to save it.
  3. That's it! You are ready to start working on a new return.
