Can I file for my mom who has macular degerneration, under her own account with you, with me doing the typing, or should I stick to paper?

I have an account for mine and my spouse's taxes, thanks, we are done for this year. 

Is it okay to establish an account for my mom who would verify her own tax return, and file from my computer? She is 89 and not computer savvy, plus uses a magnifying glass due to her macular degeneration. I would rather not do it in paper, but would use your free service, for which she qualifies.

If you are doing this with the Online product, do NOT use the same account name, because that will wipe out your tax information. Make a new account name for your mother - although you can still use the same email address (since I guess you would rather see her Intuit email).

If you are using the desktop software (installed on your PC), then you can file up to five returns (each under a different name) with the same software.

You might want to use this version for your mom's return so that it will be free:
