Hello,  I would like to use TT for my wife and I as well as my 4 children.  Do I need 5 separate Intuit accounts?

 

Thank you.

    No, just use one of the desktop (installed on a computer) products.

    If you have a full PC or Mac  that meets the system requirement it would be more cost effective to use the CD/download, which would allow you to prepare and e-file up to five federal returns + mail additional returns.

     

    If you use online, each user needs their own account and user ID.  You get one return per fee.  Unless your family members have VERY simple returns, online will add up to a big expense for all of the individual returns you mentioned.

     

    CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

    You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

     

    This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

     

    When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $20 and increases to $25 in March.

    And just so you know—online prices go up in March—Pay your fee before then to lock in the discount
