When I open Turbo Tax, it tells me I have filed my return.  Can I do a second return?

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.

Yes, you can.  I did the returns for myself and my mom also when she was alive.

Just start the Turbo Tax program again and choose start a different return.

@TennisJim   That is only in the Desktop program.  The question was about the Online version.  

Online is only good for 1 return per account.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   Start another Online return here and sign up for a new account
