Need to install two different Turbo Tax products on my laptop

[Twamng01]

I have Turbo tax Deluxe installed for my individual return.  I also purchased and am trying to install the Home and Business product for a different tax return, but the install process won't let me install this second product.  What do I need to get around this so that I work on both products on my laptop?

There is no need to install two versions of 2024 desktop software and you will not be able to do that.  Every version of the desktop software has all the forms and all the schedules.   Purchasing a second 2024 desktop software program was a waste of money for which you should seek a refund.   You can use the Deluxe software for all of your returns or if you really want to, you can upgrade the Deluxe to Home and Business and pay just the difference in price between Deluxe and Home and Business.

Thanks for the quick response.  I should have been clearer.  I need to file two returns.  A personal return using Turbo Tax Deluxe and a second return for a trust using the Home and Business product but I get an error when installing the Hone and Business product.   How do I fix this so I have both programs installed on my laptop.

You can do all the returns with 1 program.  Home & Business is just another personal return with extra help for Schedule C self employment.  You can use Deluxe for both returns.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms. 

For a Trust you need the separate Business program not Home & Business.

You can buy the stand alone do it yourself Business Download program for Windows here (it is not available to do online or for Mac).

Hi.  For a trust, I was told to use the Business product s/w.  If I can use Turbo Tax Deluxe for  an Irrevocable Trust tax return, what’s the advantage of using the Business product over the Deluxe program?

TIA

Sorry I should have been clearer.  I don't know  why I said you can use Deluxe for all returns.    No  you will need 2 different programs.  Deluxe for your personal  return and the separate Business program (not to be confused with Home & Business) for the Trust.   You can have both Deluxe and Business installed at the same time.

I have Turbo Tax Deluxe installed and when I tried to install the “Home and Business,” product, I received an error message stating I couldn’t do that.  I bought “Home and Business” by mistake but now know better. But can you confirm again that I can have both the Deluxe and Business products installed together and that I won’t have to uninstall the Deluxe product first?  If so, why is this allowed for the Business product and Deluxe but not the “Home and Business” and Deluxe?   TIA

Yes you can install Turbo Tax Business with Deluxe.  Or even with Home & Business.  But you can’t have 2 personal programs installed.  Home & Business is another personal program like Deluxe just with more help for self employment income.
