No. The TurboTax desktop software license only allows you to install the software on up to 5 computer that you personally own. If you want to do a tax return for a family member then it would have to be done on one of your computers.

@DoninGA So once I load it onto one of my computers, only that computer can be used to share?

You can install it on up to 5 computers.

The tax files are only saved on the computer used to prepare them. So if your family member installs your copy of TurboTax on a different computer, they cannot see or access your tax return.

Please read this TurboTax Help article for more information.
