    Are you using Online TurboTax?    If so, this answer is for Online TurboTax.   If you're using desktop software installed on your computer, report back for instructions.

     

    Online TurboTax can prepare only 1 Federal return per online account per year.  To prepare a second return requires a different separate account (different User ID).    You can use the same email address in the Account Settings for notification purposes in up to 5 accounts, if desired, but each log-in User ID must be unique.

     

    Do NOT try to prepare a second return in the same account, or it will overwrite the first one.

     

    For future reference, desktop editions can prepare multiple Federal returns with up to 5 Federal efiles.
