I bought the on line self employed version. I have inputted my data and will have more data later. Now I want to do my dad’s return. How do I start a second return?

If you are using the online Self-Employed that you are posting from, you only get one return per fee.  If you have another return to prepare, you have to pay again, and use another account and user ID.

***************

When you use Online TurboTax, 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, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

 When you use Desktop TurboTax, which you install from a CD or download to your own hard drive, you can prepare and e-file multiple returns for the cost of the software.  You can e-file up to 5 Federal returns—more if you mail the additional ones.  If you have multiple returns to prepare for family members, Desktop is more cost effective.
