Question

Can I assign a tax return that is already in progress to a different client? I have 2 duplicate clients, one has the QBO account and one has the tax return.

I have the accounts mapped in QBO and want to import to PTO, and I have all carryforward info in PTO so do not want to have to start from scratch. If I simply merge the customers I lose the tax return in progress, as it stays attached to the inactive client. And from what I can see, I can't change the QBO customer name to merge the other way.

Pick your return > ACTIONS: Copy Return > Find the new return with COPY at the end of name > ACTIONS: Rename Return > View Return and change the Client Information

Thanks for the response - I copied the return and renamed it but I don't see how to change the client information?

View the return > Client Information > Change the name, address, SSN, ..... to be sure it matches the new person and not the one you started with.
