How do I e-file my adult daughter's taxes, she asked that I prepare her taxes this year? i do not see Form 8879 in TurboTax.

You don't need a Form 8879 for "self-prepared" tax returns. Assuming you are not a "paid preparer" and will e-file her tax return, have her sign the 1040 to signify that she has reviewed and approved the tax return.
Paid tax preparers use form 8879, so that form is never provided by TurboTax which cannot be used by paid tax preparers. You are permitted to use TT to prepare and e-file a tax return for a family member as long as you have their permission. Any return prepared using TurboTax will show that it was "Self-Prepared" as if the primary tax payer prepared it.
