Can I install two turbotax downloads on one computer (to save on multiple state returns)?

I have already purchased a second copy of TT Deluxe, planning to do more than 5 returns, all family and friends, all for free.  But TT will not install a second copy.  I would like to know if anyone knows what to do to get a second copy to install.


You cannot and it would do no good anyway.   It is the IRS that only allows 5 e-files from the same computer, email addressee, or IP address reguardless of how many  copies of TurboTax you buy.

There is this Desktop efile error FAQ.  I don't know what it means.  It is interesting and might apply to multiple installs?  Don't know if that means on the same computer or what?  So does this mean you can efile more?  Kind of sounds like it.

The only exception is for TurboTax Business (C Corps, S corps, Estates, Trusts, Muli Member LLCs).  You CAN install the Business platform (not Home and Business) with one of the personal platforms already installed. 


INCORRECT !  You cannot install the 2019 Home and Business version after installing 2019 Premier.  Just tried it.  

You appear to have misread AnthonyC's post. He explicitly wrote that your "Home and Business" is not the exception.
