How do I login and file for two people?

[stephen2827373]

If I am filing for two different people, do I need to have different email address to create new account?

The TurboTax online edition supports up to 5 User ID's for one email address.

The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID.  So for an additional tax return you would need to create a new account with a new User ID.

I file my daughter's taxes with my email and her userID.

I want to file MY taxes now with turbotax using the same email.

It says it already exists. 

How do I add my own userID to this account?

thank you

1. Sign out of TurboTax Online.
2. Select the TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return and proceed.
3. On the Create your account screen, set up a new login for the second return.
   • You can reuse your email address if you want to receive e-file notifications for the second return.
   • Up to 5 accounts can be tied to the same email address.
4. After you've created the new account, you can start working on the second return.

@ccj4757 You do know that you will pay twice, right?  With online TurboTax you get ONE return per fee.  So unless you are able to use the Free Edition for very simple returns you are going to spend more to file two returns using online than the cost of the CD/download.

Thank you. 

My daughter qualifies for the Free e-file. 

I'll only be paying for mine.
