Set up special allocation groups for partnership depreciation data

For users of UltraTax/1065:
Use the following procedure to identify which partnership assets have depreciation to be specially allocated among the partners. These allocation groups are then automatically available for use in the Partnership Allocation Spreadsheet in UltraTax/1065.
  1. Open the partnership client.
  2. In the
    Asset List
    window, select the business activity folder.
  3. Select

    . This opens the
    Partnership Allocation
    window where you may select the existing
    Individually Allocated
    group or create a new group.
    note
    • Each asset included in the
      Individually Allocated
      group is listed separately in the UltraTax/1065 Partnership Allocation Spreadsheet, along with the first 16 characters of the asset's description.
    • All of the assets selected for a user-defined allocation group are included together as a single item in the UltraTax/1065 Partnership Allocation Spreadsheet, along with the first 16 characters of the allocation group description.
    • Assets for which the
      Tracking partner's outside basis (1065 only)
      checkbox is marked on the
      Other
      tab should be allocated together.
