Where do I enter the salvage value of depreciable assets in Pro Series

Should the salvage value be deducted from the cost since there is not a separate entry line for it?

Or, is there a separate entry line?  If so, where is it?

For tax purposes, salvage value has not been used since, I think, The Tax Reform Act of 1986.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

First question:  Why is there salvage value?

Almost all depreciation is required to use MACRS, which has no salvage value.  There are a few things that get pushed out of MACRS, but not much. 

If it is NOT part of MACRS (and therefore may have a salvage value), what is the reason it is not part of MACRS?
