Investment Credit Recapture dialog

Show expandable text

Use this dialog to enter business use percentages so the application can calculate investment credit recapture. After you enter the percentages, verify that the recapture amounts transfer to Form 4255.

This dialog automatically appears when you dispose of an asset that has an entry other than A, L, N, O, P, Q, V, or W in the Credit field in the Depreciation tab.

To open this dialog, choose Tasks > Investment Credit Recapture. Note that this command is available only if an asset has a credit code other than A, L, N, O, P, Q, V, or W in the Depreciation tab and the asset has been sold, or business use drops below 50 percent.

Note: This dialog is not available for aggregate assets.
