Depreciation
Use the Depreciation subscreen to record the information the asset depreciation
calculations are based on and the results of the calculations.
The Depreciation subscreen has four columns, showing book, federal tax, other,
and alternative minimum tax (A.M.T.) figures. This screen operates somewhat
like a spreadsheet; you can move up or down within a column and enter
information that is later used in depreciation calculations. You can also move
across columns, keeping four sets of figures and comparing the results side by
side. To move from one column to the next, use the Jump (Tab) command. To
move back to the first column, use the Start over (PgUp) command. To advance
or move back through the fields in a column, use the up- and down-arrow keys.
After you enter the current depreciation for one column, the cursor moves to the
Base Cost field in the next column. If you add an asset record (and have not used
the Copy From function), the entries in the column you just left are copied to the
next column. If you are changing an asset record, your changes are not copied.
