TurboTax Deluxe Online

Online is only good for 1 return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts. You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:

Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return
Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return

In the online version, I am trying to use my email address to create a second account and it says, “That email address is already in use” (or something to that effect). It won’t allow me to create a new account for a second return. Please help!

Level 2

Don't use the email address for the username. (write down what you do end up using, or you will forget)

like "TomsTaxes" (but not something too personal)

There is a separate email address setting in its eventual account settings.

Thanks, SteamTrain, but it’s not asking for a username, it’s asking for an email address. Ugh!

When I enter TomsTaxes, it says “Enter a valid email address.”
