I always use desktop CD T/Tax to complete my disabled son's returns. This year, the 'Yes" checked box, with my name, phone, and PIN, correctly appears (from 2017 and earlier returns) in the 3rd party designee sections of Info WKS, 1040 WKS, and Schedule 6. But when I print his actual 2018 Form 1040, the "Check if: 3rd Party Designee" box remains blank. In this 'Paid Preparer Use Only' section, it correctly says "Self-Prepared" because I completed the return for my son, but why can't I get an "X" mark to appear in the 2018 Form 1040 3rd Party Designee box?
