How to Un-invite a Client in Intuit Link

Before you start:

• If the reason for uninviting a client is because the client would like to to use a new email address to sign in to Link and can still login to Link with their old email address, use this article instead: Resolving sign-in issues with Intuit Link
• If you un-invite a client who has already accepted a Link invitation, the client will not be able to view information they had previously uploaded to Link.
• The preparer will continue to see the client's prior and current year data.

Un-invite a client who has previously accepted the invitation

1. Login to the Intuit Link Accountant site.
2. Find the client on your Link client list.
   • For clients who have accepted the invitation, the Progress column will show how many tasks the client has completed or it'll show 'Invite Accepted'.
3. Select the arrow in the Actions column.
4. Select Un-invite.
5. Next, you are presented with the following screen stating the client won't be able to view information uploaded with the old email address if you continue.
6. Select Yes, to continue to un-invite the client.

If you need to re-invite the client to a new email address:

If the clients Link status has not switched to "Invite" after un-inviting them, refresh your Link status.  Go to Tools, Intuit Link, and click Update Link Statuses.

2. Select Invite under the Intuit Link column.
3. Next you can select to send the engagement letter, questionnaire, and/or checklist.  Select the items you want to send.
   • If you have already sent the engagement letter, questionnaire, or checklist, check Do Not Include under each item so the task do not duplicate in Link.  If you are unsure if this tasks are already in Link, log in to the Link accountant website.  Then click on the clients name to see if these items already exist.
