The application automatically assigns inventory to the first unit of ordinary income activities and its associated cost of goods sold calculation. To assign inventory to a different unit, select the desired unit from the view in the Ordinary Income Unit column.
There are two fields for each end-of-year account balance. The fields in the End of Year Amounts from Asset Module column display the amounts transferred from the asset module. Generally, the application uses the amount from the Book column in the asset module; however, if the book column is blank, the application uses the amount from the Tax column.
To use a different amount to complete Schedule L, enter an amount, including 0 (zero), in the corresponding field in the End of Year column.
When you use the asset module, amounts transfer as follows.

Use the statements to enter detail required for the return. The application uses the year-end amounts you enter here, along with amounts you enter in the Liabilities section in the K1 Screen, to calculate the partner's share of liabilities by activity on Schedule K-1 and the Partner Basis Worksheet.
By default, the application treats each of these amounts as a Recourse Liability that is at risk and assigns them to the portfolio activity. Use the Liability Classification column in the statement to report the liability as a different classification. Use the Activity Type and Activity Unit columns to assign the liabilities to a different activity.
