Can you clarify what you are trying to add?  Are you trying to setup a different TurboTax account?  If so, you will setup a different account using a different email.  Go to TurboTax.com and select create an account.

The information says I can setup up to 5 returns under one email.  I am trying to add an account for my deceased mother to file her last return.
