Taxes for someone else

I'm doing my mother-in-law's taxes w TT Desktop. Is there a place where I can indicate that I'm the one preparing them?

No, there is nowhere to enter that you are the one entering the tax data for the taxpayer shown on the tax return.

Thank you for the quick reply! I see on form 1040, there's a box that can be checked to allow another person to discuss the taxes with the IRS (3rd party designee). Does that come up in the interview? When I go to Forms, I'm not allowed to edit it (though I see it's editable in the Info Worksheet). Just wondering if it will ask me at some point during the filing process.
