Asset entry flexibility :

  Depreciation entry selection methods include :

• No prior depreciation - normal method of depreciating an asset. This will depreciate the asset for every year of its useful life.  Our recommended method of entry.
• Partially depreciated asset - used when you are matching a clients old depreciation and you do not need all prior years of detail. A starting prior depreciation amount is entered and then the asset is depreciated for the balance of its useful life
• Fully depreciated - used when an old asset is entered and you do not need the prior years of detail

  Calculation selection methods :

• Automatic - the depreciation of an asset is automatically calculated for all years based on the method, convention, and life selected.  This method uses the depreciation tables as provided by the I.R.S.
• Manual - same as automatic except that each years percent or depreciation amount can be manually overridden during entry.  This allows for an easy adjustment to make your depreciation balance with prior years schedules.
