Easy.  Use the link and create a new account for yourself. Simply click 'Start for Free'.  Do not use 'Sign in' because this will have your daughter's information if she has been using your account.

We used to file regularly on turbotax under my email. that is the same email address we used for my daughter. Will it still work by creating a new account?

Will I be able to locate our old rerurns?

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

So even if I paid for an online edition I cannot do a second ?

With online TurboTax software you get ONE return per fee.   if you use the same account and user ID for another return you will overwrite the first return and lost it permanently.  With paid versions of the online software you pay for each federal return and each state return.
