State Calculations dialog

Show expandable text

Use this dialog to set options that affect state treatment columns for all Fixed Assets CS clients. Within this dialog, there are tabs for each entity type - 1040, 1120C, 1065, 1041, and 990 / Others. Each tab contains information about the selected state's compliance with section 168(k), 1400L, 1400N, and 168(n).

To open this dialog, choose Setup > State Calculations.

Note: Depending on your security configuration, you might be prompted to enter the master password before you can open the State Calculations dialog.

The information in this dialog regarding each state's compliance with bonus depreciation and limitations on section 179 is current as of the initial years release in November. If the state law regarding bonus depreciation or section 179 limits changes after the first release of Fixed Assets CS, you must make the appropriate changes in this dialog. For information on making these changes, see the following topics.
