No. TurboTax is NOT a tax preparer - they are a tax software company for self-prepared tax returns. *You* are the tax preparer.
Form 8944 has nothing to do with self-prepared tax return that can either be e-filed OR mail filed. It is a waiver for the registered "tax preparer" , not the tax payer, to not follow the IRS e-file requirements for paid preparers.
