Multiple Returns?

Dec 05, 2006 1 Replies

I have never bought income tax preparation software before. If I buy Turbo Tax Home & Business, can I prepare more than one 1040? I would like to prepare my son's tax return as well as my own.


Hi, Sue.

Yes.

Well, I think so. Intuit has tried various schemes over the years to get us to buy more of their software - as any well-managed business would, I suppose. A few years ago, they used a method that wrote secret codes onto our hard drives, but there was such a furor over it that the company retreated after only one year! Now, there is no limit mentioned that I can see in the documentation. And the opening screen allows for multiple returns. I used TT Basic for 2005 to prepare 3 returns (for myself and 2 relatives); this year, TT Basic 2006 imported last year's data for all 3 of them.

I've never used the Home & Business version, but I doubt it is more restrictive than Basic.
