Question for the experts:  Can my son designate me as a third party designee on his tax return since I assisted him with the completion of it? Other than completing the section on the 1040 are there any other forms necessary?  Where in turbo tax do you make the change as it automatically flags the box "No". Thanks

    Yes, you can. You can do that only in the Desktop installed program using Forms Mode.

    I AM THERE AND  IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK THE YES BOX.  STAYS ON NO.  MAC VERSION. FORM 1040.  ALSO  EVENTHOUGH IT SHOWS BLACK  ON YES WON'T SHOW X, NEITHER WITH IT ALLOW ME TO ENTER A DESIGNEE'S NAME
