I would like to prepare my elderly parents taxes.  They will sign and file, but I want to help them prepare their taxes, then file using Turbo Tax.  I have a Turbo Tax account that I've used for years.   Can I prepare for my parents online using Turbo Tax?

    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.
