Paid Preparer signature on Pg 2 of 1040

without affecting the other returns in my tax database.

TIA

Here's one way to do it.

Others may have a more elegant solution.

Go into the "Preparer Manager" and set up a "Firm" with no name. The easiest way to do this is to enter a character in the "Firm Name" field, then backspace it out. You should then have a line that is completely blank of all information. Choose "Enter on Form" and you'll find that the Paid Preparer and "Firm's Name" info is blank for that return only.

NOTE: If you have modified the master to always have the Third Party Designee info appear, the above won't remove that info - it will still need to be blanked out separately with an override. Also, I don't know how any of this may affect electronic filing - I only paper file and this process works for me when it's needed.
