Federal e-filing 1040 returns with H&R Block Premium Home & Business

I've bought this software know full well I'll get 5 free e-files for Federal

1040 returns. I due 11 returns a year now and get the message that I've I've reached my 5 free e-files. I always assumed that once I e-filed the 5 free returns, that I would now have to pay for them.

But, I also get a reference to IRS. Pub. 1345 where I discovered "Ensure that no more than five electronic returns are filed from one software package or one e-mail address."

Any suggestions how I can e-file my last 6 returns? TIA

You'll need another email address and perhaps even another (2) copies of the software. These are anti-fraud restrictions imposed by the IRS. There is also a possibility that the software captures some machine specific information as part of the anti-fraud process which could further complicate your situation.

I suspect you're right as far as the software looking for other versions on the same machine. I had considered loading it onto another machine, different email and credit card, but really annoyed that there is a limit to e-filing. I fought it 30 years ago and still fighting it today. Thanks.
