Third Party Designee

[n1njah]

Doing other people's returns as unpaid preparer. I would like to put myself as a Third Party Designee (which I can override on TurboTax Deluxe Desktop). However, can I still e-file the fed and state returns? And how does this affect the "100% turbotax accuracy guarantee"?

Thanks

Yes, you can still e-file the tax return with the Third Party Designee on the Form 1040.  And no it does not void the TurboTax 100% Accuracy Guarantee

Thank you!

How do you update the Third Party Designee information?  

[VolvoGirl]

you can do that only in the Desktop installed program using Forms Mode.  There is no question and answer steps for it.  You can assign a third party designee in the desktop version of TurboTax using the Forms Mode.

2018 introduces Form 1040 Schedule 6, Foreign Address and Third Party Designee - but I couldn't search for Schedule 6. Instead I searched for foreign address, clicked on Jump to Foreign Address, then clicked on the Forms button to bring up the manual entry form. I then could click on YES and enter my name.
