Screen PASale - Pennsylvania Sale of Business Property (1040)

Show all hidden content

Overview

All depreciation and amortization information transfers directly into the PASale screen from the UltraTax CS fixed asset module and then transfers to the relevant forms.
UltraTax CS provides a global option to specify how to enter asset information. It may be entered in the fixed asset module or on the various depreciation screens. When the fixed asset module is used to enter asset data, this screen isn't applicable and the depreciation tab for this screen doesn't appear. To override depreciation or amortization amounts on the relevant forms without using the fixed asset module, enter the information in this screen. For more information, see Asset module overview.
note
  • For resident returns, all units created in the federal Sale screen are transferred to UltraTax/1040-PA. For the nonresident and part-year returns, units created in the Sale screen transfer only if the postal code entered for the asset is
    PA
    .
  • Add or delete units for this screen in the corresponding federal screen.
