Can I let family members use my Turbotax premier, which I downloaded onto my desktop, on their computer? Do they use my account to download onto their computer?

In the past I would get a CD which I would simply hand over to family members who can then do their taxes.

You can only install the TurboTax software that you purchased on computer that you own.  Releasing the software you purchased to someone else is a violation of the End User License Agreement for the desktop software.

Go to this TurboTax website for INTUIT SOFTWARE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT TURBOTAX DESKTOP SOFTWARE—TAX YEAR 2017 - https://turbotax.intuit.com/corp/license/desktop.jsp

You can create, complete and file a tax return for anyone you wish using the TurboTax software installed on your personal computer.   However, the software is not licensed for someone charging a fee to prepare a tax return using the TurboTax personal desktop editions software.
