We are live and want to actually see tranasactions move through Tax Connect in BOTH environments. My main company has to be active - that's live. Your method really only has one company live at a time - in my case I need them both.
From my research Epicor doesn't have a good solution for this.
Thanks for the feedback.

Epicor promised to sort this out with Avalara; looks like it is still a sticking point. We managed to get the development access for free during implementation, but now they want money for it so we are just using our live connection. We have no sandbox with which to play.
