My dad is not legally blind but my mom is so when I answer the questions, why does it only ask if my dad is legally blind?

Sounds like you are getting confused when you go through My Info and answering questions about each of them. Are you preparing their joint tax return? Click each of their names in My Info and go through the screens slowly and carefully for each of them to answer the questions correctly for each of your parents. The parent who is legally blind gets an amount added to the standard deduction.
