A friend wants me to help her with her taxes, online on taxact. She does not have a computer or has never used?

one. My question is: Can I enter in her info with her, But use my email account, or should I set her up her own email account? I dont want to mess us my taxact account.

Update:

I am not out to screw her. Just help her, so she is not paying 150.00 by going to H & R block when she could only pay 15.00.

    1. set up an email account for your friend.

    2. do not commingle her info in your account

    3. since you are working with private info, make sure your friend is with you when the information is entered on the computer and keep some record as to the work you are doing for your friend.

    You are accessing private information and do not want to lose your friend. Great care is needed or

    4. Let your friend enter her information and teach her how to do it so you stay away from accessing her private information.

    You can enter the info with her. You could use your email account. Would be better to set up one for her. If she wants direct deposit, it has to go to her own account though, not yours.

    It's nice that your friend trusts you with such personal information and that you are willing to help. I would set up an email account for her. It's free and can help avoid any confusion.

    the internet is open to the world, unless there is disclaimer on the site when you enter information, it probably will accept multiple returns, each has a specific pin individually, only for that person
