New (tax) year, new help!

Fixed Assets and UltraTax CS 2023 help is now on Help and Support. We're still moving articles, but you can find most content for the 2023 tax year there. Continue using the Help & How-To Center for tax years 2022 and older.

Follow these steps to mark that an activity qualifies as trade or business for Section 199A. This only applies for tax years ending 2018 and later.

  1. Open a client. You will be on the Asset List window.
  2. Choose Setup > Activities.
  3. Select the correct Form / Schedule then click Edit.
  4. Select Yes or No from the Qualifies as a trade or business for Section 199A field.

To use component assets instead of aggregate assets, go to Options > Calculation, then mark the Use component assets instead of aggregate assets for business income deduction box.

To print a report for the qualified business deduction go to File > Print and select the Tax Qualified Property Report. To include non-qualified assets on this report, open Options > Tax Qualified Property Report, then mark the Non-qualified Assets box.

The Qualifies as a trade or business for Section 199A field is left blank by default and is only available for the following entities/activities.

  • 1040 - Business, Bus COGS*, Rental, Farm, Farm Rent
  • 1041 - Business, Bus COGS*, Rental, Farm, Sch K-1
  • 1120S - Business, COGS*, Farm, Farm Rent, Rental
  • 1065 - Business, COGS*, Farm, Farm Rent, Rental
  • 990 - OP, OP COGS, Rental

Note: *The field is unavailable for COGS and Bus COGS activities. To enter Yes/No for COGS or Bus COGS, go to the Business activity (or create one if it doesn’t exist) and fill out the field, which will automatically transfer to the COGS or Bus COGS activity.
