Depreciation treatments required for all VA PPT assets
The Book or VA treatment must be entered for Virginia Personal Property Tax returns. By default, the Book treatment transfers to the return. However, if the Complete return using the VA treatment within the Asset module field is marked on Screen Gen in the General folder for UltraTax/Virginia Personal Property Tax, the VA treatment will transfer to the return.
Note: If you previously entered depreciation data for only the Tax treatment, you can copy asset data from the Tax treatment to the Book treatment or to the VA treatment.
