Deluxe online edition with friends.

Hello,

I am thinking of buying the deluxe online edition that allows up to 8 returns and using it with friends. Will each user be able to see each other’s taxes? 
I am not sure how it works and I don’t want others to see my taxes if I create one account for everyone to file their taxes.

 

 Thanks

If you buy the 8-return package of TurboTax deluxe online, the code will only work in one account.  You will need to give your login information to your friends if you want to share your returns with them, but then they will not only be able to see your information, they would be able to change things as well. 

 

We don't recommend sharing your login information.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like the deluxe online edition is not suitable for our situation. 
Is the standard downloadable edition better in this case?

The download version may work better for you and your friends, as you can install the software on up to three computers using the same licence. You can buy TurboTax CD/Download here: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax/software/download

 

FYI: You can see the minimum system requirements for TurboTax CD/Download on this page: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/modals/dynamic/?instance=c1z6t2Y1w. Windows 10 or 11 is required.
