Screen PAC-2 - Pennsylvania Business - Expenses (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

Use this screen to enter information to complete Form PA-40 Schedule C, Profit or (Loss) from Business or Profession. Amounts on the PAC-2 screen are automatically transferred from the federal C-2 screen. It's important to report any state-related law differences and details in the PAC-2 screen.

Schedule C - Expenses

Amortization (Force)
The UltraTax CS fixed asset module automatically calculates amortization amounts. Enter an amount in this field to override the amount automatically transferred by UltraTax CS.
Car and truck (Force)
UltraTax CS automatically uses the calculated federal car / truck expense amount, adjusted for Pennsylvania differences. Enter an amount in this field to override the amount automatically transferred by UltraTax CS.
Depletion (Force)
UltraTax CS automatically uses the calculated federal depletion amount when the cost depletion fields in the federal OGWell screen are completed. If the
Depletion (Force)
 field in the federal C-2 screen is used, an entry is required in the Pennsylvania PAC-2 screen. Use this field to enter another amount if different than the one calculated.
Regular depreciation (Force) / Section 179 expense (Force)
If the fixed asset module is used, it determines the depreciation expense for each activity. If the amount is incorrect, use the
Regular depreciation (Force) / Section 179 expense (Force)
 fields in this screen. However, we strongly recommend changing the amount in the fixed asset module to ensure that the state versions of the appropriate forms are correct.
note
Use the PADepr screen to enter your depreciation expense without using the fixed asset module, if the state depreciation expense differs from the amount entered in UltraTax/1040. When you enter depreciation expense directly in the PADepr screen, the Depreciation Expense column should include the amount entered in the 179 Expense column.
IDCs (1/3 Current expensing) (Force)/ … / Start-up costs (Direct expense) (Force)
The UltraTax CS fixed asset module automatically calculates amortization for Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC) for 1/3 current expensing and regular amortization amounts along with start-up costs relating to direct expense. Enter an amount in these fields to override the amounts automatically transferred by UltraTax CS.
If the fields
IDCs (1/3 Current expensing) (Force)
 or
IDCs (Amortization) (Force)
 are used, Ultra Tax CS also zeros out the Intangible Drilling costs entered on the federal OGWell screen in the
Expensed
 field or
Amortization (Force)
 field under intangible drilling costs. These expenses show up in the Other expenses section of Schedule C with a description of
Intang Drilling
.

 statement window when printing the return.
