Question

Someone wants me to do their taxes for them, can I do it through this same app? They don’t have a computer or smart phone to do their own turbo tax

In the CD/Download version of TurboTax, you can prepare as many federal returns as you want. Up to five can be e-filed. Additional returns must be printed and mailed.

You can also use TurboTax Online or the mobile app to prepare multiple returns, but each return requires its own unique login and must be paid for separately (if the return doesn't qualify for Free Edition). 

Most customers who need to file separate returns for family members find that the CD/Download version is more economical.

Tip: Our license agreement doesn't allow the use of TurboTax for commercial or professional tax preparation. If you prepare tax returns for a living, take a look at our ProSeries or Lacerte software.

  1. On the Create your account screen, set up a new user ID for the second return.
    • You can reuse your email address if you want to receive e-file notifications for the second return.
    • Up to 5 accounts can be tied to the same email address.
  2. After you've created the new account, you can start working on the second return.
  3. If you can't create a new account because your web browser automatically logs you into your old account, you may need to clear your browser history, cache and cookies.
