The above instructions are given if you have already purchased TurboTax Online (DIY) 8 and activated the product by linking your account. Then at the checkout you will check that box so it won't use any of the 8 Deluxe returns that you have already paid for. Those free returns will not be counted towards your TurboTax Deluxe 8 package.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) limits the number of tax returns that can be filed using NETFILE-certified software to a maximum of 20 returns per computer or online account per tax year.
You can only file 12 more returns (plus 8 Deluxe returns) if you bought TurboTax Deluxe for 8 returns. That makes 20 returns in all.
