How to enter Energy Efficiency Tax Deduction Section 179D Deductions in Lacerte

by Intuit1 Updated 4 months ago

The amount of deduction claimed under Section 179D should be entered:
(1) As an "other deduction" on the "Deductions" screen.
(2) On the asset itself, on the "Depreciation" screen, as a "basis reduction (amortizable costs expensed, ITC, etc.)".

Looking at S-Corporation instructions, on Page 16 they point us to Line 19 of S-Corporation return. The input for that line is in Screen 15 in field Other (Screen 15; Code 46).

  2. Under Other, enter a description and amount in Other deductions (Ctrl+E) (input sheet code 46).
