Fields & buttons

Mid-quarter application for current-year acquisitions group box
  • System evaluated:
     This option is marked by default because the application tests all assets purchased during the current year to determine whether they should be included in or excluded from the MACRS mid-quarter calculations. The application includes all MACRS personal property assets and 7-, 10-, 15-, 20-, or 25-year assets that have been forced as real property assets at their business cost.
    To exclude these assets, you must mark the
    Exclude from mid-quarter determination (force)
     checkbox for each asset. To do this, select the asset's Other tab and then select the Mid-Quarter & Section 179 Force Options button.
  • Force application:
     To force the application to calculate using MACRS mid-quarter calculations regardless of whether the normal conditions have been met, select the
