No  you cannot deactivate a program to get the activation back   ...  you have the ability to install and activate the program on up to 5 computers that  you own (do you own more than 5 ?) . 

 

You also can efile up to 5 tax returns no matter how many computers you use. 

 

These 2 different "5" limits have nothing to do with one another.

It's kind of dumb. If you use your 5 activations and your computer crashes, you're screwed. Played by the rules but they're dumb rules. So then what, drop another $60 on Turbotax? Spare me.
