I just finished my taxes using TT Premier for Windows desktop.

Now my son and daughter (college students) are trying to install my TT Premier on their laptops and do their taxes. However, they are hitting a roadblock - something about "need same account to install the license key" or something like that.

Doesn't TT Premier allow 5 installations? Do they have to buy their own TT Premier? Please help!

You can install Turbo Tax on 5 computers YOU OWN. You would have to give them your online account info to activate the program. But they will not see your info and returns. The returns are only kept on the computer they were done on. They are not stored or saved on Turbo Tax online. They can still use their account to efile their own returns.

And the license has always been….you can install it on 5 computers YOU OWN. You are not suppose to share it. This year they are enforcing it.

Hi Volvo Girl!

Thanks for your great answer! I do OWN my son's and daughter's laptops because I paid for them, they are my dependents.

Question: once they install TT using my account, how do they use THEIR ACCOUNTS to efile their own returns? Aren't they stuck to my account?

TRY THIS: Take it off your computer and it will probably load on one of theirs. You paid for one application so can't have two going at same time even if one not used.
