You can't.

The consumer tax software is only for self-prepared tax returns. Professional tax preparers have to use special pro-versions.

Your Friend must read a printout, and agree that it is correct before it is filed.....and also agree between you both that the friend is responsible for any errors, no matter who works on it. You can help...you just can't get paid for helping. Be sure to give the friend full copies of everything, and the UserID and Password for their Online tax account that contains their file.

____________*Answers are correct to the best of my knowledge when posted, but should not be considered to be legal or official tax advice.*
