If you are using Premier desktop software on your own hard drive, you do not "log in" or "log out" when you are using the software. You are using a program that is on your own hard drive. You launch it from your own computer, go up to the top of your screen, click FILE, and then click NEW RETURN to start a return for your parents. With desktop download software, you can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns and the state returns that go with them, so you are fine to prepare a return for your parents and e-file it for them. The only fee might be a state e-file fee of $25, but you can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state.
And....make sure you SAVE the return and put their name on it so as not to confuse it with your own return. Always save your work before exiting the program.
