Depreciation Expense Report: Report Columns

The Depreciation Expense report columns first identify the asset, then provide depreciable basis and depreciation expense figures.

These standard columns appear in the Depreciation Expense report and need no explanation:

System Number 

Extension

[Placed] In-Service Date

Acquired Value

Depreciation Method

Property Type (PT)

Estimated Life (shown in years and months)

Salvage/168 Allowance/Section 179

Key Code

The following guidelines provide detail on the nonstandard columns that appear on the Depreciation Expense report.

Column Notes
Depreciable Basis This column shows the asset's depreciable basis as calculated by the system.
Prior Through This date is the previous through date (that is, the date of the next-to-last depreciation calculation). For example, if you calculated depreciation through 01/22 and then calculated depreciation through 02/22, the system displays 01/22 in the Prior Through column.
Prior Accumulated Depreciation Prior accumulated depreciation includes all depreciation expense from the asset's placed-in-service date through the end of the fiscal year before depreciation was last calculated. For example, if depreciation was last calculated through 03/22, prior accumulated depreciation includes all depreciation expense from the asset's placed-in-service date through December 2021 (assuming a calendar year-end company), including any beginning depreciation amounts.
Depreciation This Run Depreciation this run is the amount that was calculated for the period between the next-to-last depreciation calculation (the Previous Through date) and the last depreciation calculation (the current through date). For example, if you calculated depreciation through 01/22 and then calculated depreciation through 03/22, the Depreciation This Run column includes depreciation for February and March 2022.
Current Year to Date Depreciation Current year-to-date depreciation includes all depreciation expense from the beginning of the fiscal year containing the current through date up to and including the current through date. (The current through date is the last date through which you calculated depreciation.) For example, if the current through date is 03/22, the current year-to-date depreciation includes depreciation for January, February, and March 2022 (for a calendar year-end company).
Current Accumulated Depreciation Current accumulated depreciation includes all depreciation expense from the asset's placed-in-service date up to and including the current through date. (The current through date is the last date through which you calculated depreciation.) Current Accumulated depreciation equals the amount in the Prior Accumulated Depreciation column plus the amount in the Current Year-to-Date Depreciation column.

The following columns on the report include the 168 Allowance and Section 179 expense, when applicable to the depreciation method, if you selected Yes in the Include Section 168 Allowance and Section 179 in Expense field in the Edit Company screen and the report run date is after the asset’s placed-in-service year:

  • Prior Accumulated Depreciation
  • Depreciation This Run
  • Current Year to Date Depreciation
  • Current Accumulated Depreciation

The Calculation Assumptions section on the last page of the report indicates whether you selected Yes or No in the Edit Company window.
