I use QBO mostly for my clients. This year, for the first time, I'm thinking of using Proconnect to prepare tax returns. When I saw the list of the clients, it was already there, however, I don't want to merge them.

Is there any way not to merge, but you can still use the Proconnect tax to prepare the returns? Should I make inactive QBO clients under the Proconnect client page? Please advise. Thank you!
