I've entered a computer on the Asset Entry Worksheet which was purchased 09-04-20 for $871 and it is not calculating any depreciation $0. The asset life history shows basis of $871 and depreciable basis of $0 with 200DB and 5 yr Life. Is there a glitch with the software?

Is it claiming 100% Bonus Depreciation, thereby leaving $0 of depreciable Basis?

No, nothing is populating in the bonus depreciation or depreciation deduction field.

Then it could be a glitch.  I read the TurboTax is having some problems with depreciation not calculating, and the tax-programming of ProSeries uses the same 'tax engine' and TurboTax, so it could be the same problem.

You could test a few things out if you want:

  • Delete the Asset Entry Worksheet and enter it again.
  • Enter the same information for a Schedule C.  Does it work?  If so, keep the Asset Entry Worksheet and 'move' it to the 2106 (it is one of the options in the top menu bar).
  • Go through the error check/review to see if some weird error is holding it up.
