I have always purchased Turbo tax products to do my families Tax returns. This year I purchased the Turbo Tax Premier as always and ir says I can install the program on 5 Computers but only efile 5 in total. Is this a new change to the Products

The TurboTax user license allows one user to install copies of TurboTax on up to five computers that the user owns. You can also prepare multiple returns, including returns for other people. But the license does not allow, and has never allowed, one copy to be shared among different people. This year, that license is being enforced by requiring users to log into their TurboTax online account when they install the program for the first time. This locks one particular copy of the program and one license code to one user account. The only way you could install the program on a computer that you do not own, would be to give the other person your online username and password. And even though that workaround might allow the installation, it’s still a violation of the license.
The five federal e-file limit has always been there. That is nothing new. It is an IRS limit---not a TT limit. If you have more than five family members to prepare returns for, the "extra" ones have to be filed by mail.
