If you are using the online account you will need to set up a new account under his name. You cannot use the same online account for more than one person. For the desktop version you can e-file up to 5 returns using the same program.

To file taxes for your son using TurboTax, you'll need to create a new account for him. TurboTax Online only allows one tax return per account, so you can't use your existing account to file another person's taxes.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Create a New Account: Go to the TurboTax website and sign up for a new account using a different email address. This will allow you to start a new tax return for your son.
  2. Use TurboTax Desktop: If you prefer, you can use TurboTax Desktop software, which allows you to file multiple returns from one installation. This might be more convenient if you have several returns to file

Permissions Needed

You will need your son's permission to file his taxes. Ideally, you should have written consent or a Power of Attorney to ensure everything is legally compliant
