This unexpected behavior was originally identified in Individual taxes, in late November and quickly addressed in a program update available November 29, 2023.
Later it was discovered that this same behavior was experienced in Corporate returns, and was then addressed in a program update for both Corporate and S Corporate returns available January 17, 2024.
This behavior was specific to any depreciation asset that contained prior Special Depreciation Allowance (SDA) for federal and -1 for state in 2022 (sample below).
When transferring the client to 2023 using the Transfer/Create new return, the Prior special depreciation allowance for the Federal (10,000 in the image above) is transferred to 2023. However, the -1 for state is not transferred.
Next Step - Client Files Transferred Prior to Program Updates:
You may want to either:
- Re-proforma any clients impacted by this behavior from 2022 to 2023.
- This action will create a new 2023 return. If substantial work has already been done in 23, you may want to perform the following.
- Manually adjust the 2023 depreciation input by entering a ‘-1’ in the state if different column for the Prior special depreciation allowance field.
Additional Information:
States that do not conform to Federal SDA which are more likely to include the ‘-1’ transferred item:
Arkansas Illinois New Jersey
Arizona Indiana New York
California Kentucky Pennsylvania
Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode Island
District of Columbia Maryland South Carolina
Florida Maine Texas
Georgia Michigan Virginia
Hawaii Mississippi Vermont
