return was originally filed with proconnect. Removing my name makes sense to me otherwise I am the "non-paid preparer" in the "Paid Preparer" section.
Thanks All

Are you a paid preparer, even though this particular return is no charge? Are you still applying your professional standards and knowledge to this non paid return?

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

You are not a tax return preparer if you are "A person who prepares a return or claim for refund for a taxpayer with no explicit or implicit agreement for compensation, even if the person receives an insubstantial gift, return service, or favor."

26 CFR § 301.7701-15 - Tax return preparer.

But I sign those returns anyway.
