Mother's Return

I'm doing my 98 yr old mother's taxes. Can I just sign it with her DL information or do I need to sign it as preparer? (I think that I know the answer but want to be sure,)

You are not a paid preparer. You do not sign a do-it-yourself return as a preparer when you use TurboTax. These returns are "self-prepared"----even if you prepared it for your mom.

Wow, thanks for the information, I feel a bit better today.
