What is the additional charge for a second federal return using Deluxe Online Version?

[SkeeterB767]

Thanks for the help - because I am still on Windows 10, I must use the online version.  Is there an extra charge for additional federal returns? I usually do my son's return in addition to  mine.   I've never used the online version before and have always downloaded TurboTax.

When you use online TurboTax you pay for every return, and federal and state have separate fees.   You get one return per fee.  There is no discount for preparing multiple returns online----sorry.

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.

Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

If you switch to the Online version for 2025…..You will notice several differences and may not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.

The Online web version is only good for one account and one return.  Although you can use the same email address for 5 separate accounts.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.

You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income.

If you can't  install Turbo Tax Desktop program you can transfer from your 2024 return from your computer into the online version. You need to have the file ending in.tax2024 on your computer.

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version,
