When reviewing the assets included in the QBI calculation, if some are missing, it could be because of the following:

• An asset that is past its depreciable life isn't included in the unadjusted basis immediately after acquisition (UBIA) calculation according to Publication 535.
• Generally, an asset can be claimed for its entire MACRS depreciation life or ten years, whichever is longer.
  • For example, if an asset has a seven year life, you can include it for ten years. If it has a twenty year life, you can claim it for twenty years.
• If you need to alter the UBIA calculation for a particular asset, overrides are available on the Depreciation screen.
