Can I use my copy of Premier to file both my wife's and my return along with my mother-in-law's simple return at no extra charge?

My mother-in-law is 85 and no longer able to take care of all of finances. My wife has her full POA to handle her finances. That includes the filling of taxes and dealing with Social Security. My mother-in-law's income is only pensions, interest, annuities, and Social Security payments. Total income just under $34,000.

You are posting from online TurboTax. 

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

 When you use Desktop TurboTax, which you install from a CD or download to your own hard drive, you can prepare and e-file multiple returns for the cost of the software.  You can e-file up to 5 Federal returns—more if you mail the additional ones.  If you have multiple returns to prepare for family members, Desktop is more cost effective.
