Question

Installing two TurboTax disks

I purchased two TurboTax disks.  One is the Premier version and the other is the Deluxe version.  I do taxes for family in Tennessee and Ohio plus I need the Premier version for my rentals.  I can't install the two disks on one computer.  I have to install them on two separate computers.  Is there a way to install the two versions on one computer? Plus I can only use my email address a total of five times when e-filing taxes.  Is there a way to work around that?  I get very frustrated with these two issues.

Regards.

    No.  Only one version.    There is no need for two.  Premier is the same as Deluxe with a few MORE feature.

     

    The 5 e-file limit is an IRS limit.      (5 per email, IP address, computer, etc).  A second software does not get you another 5. 

     

    Get a refund for the Deluxe - you do  not need it.

    TT is not licensed for use by paid tax preparers, so it is not designed to be used by anyone (including members of the public) who need to file many returns.  

     

    You can only install one CD.  Premier handles everything that Deluxe does, so use that one.  The 5 return efile is an IRS limit.   You can file the rest by mail, or do the simple ones using TT Online (web version) with a different email address.
