Using the TurboTax online editions you cannot add a third party designee on page 2 of Form 1040 unless you print and mail your tax return.

 

Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions the third party designee can be added using Forms mode and enter the designee on the Federal Information worksheet.  The federal tax return can be e-filed with the designee entered.
