Q |

asset information from any other depreciation programs?
How about if I export my information to an Excel

No to both questions. You must manually enter all asset data
directly into Depreciation Calculator. There is no
conversion utility to convert your data into our program. |
|
|
|

spreadsheet. Can I import my Excel schedules into
Depreciation Calculator? |

|
Q |
What is the maximum number of assets that Depreciation
Calculator can handle? |
|
A |
The number of
assets that Depreciation Calculator can handle is
limited by your computer's available hard disk space. Note
that if you are going to use the program for a very large
number of assets, you should run the program on a fast
computer with a lot of random access memory (RAM). |
|
|
|
Q |

generate
a single report that shows the depreciation for the entire life
of an asset? |
|
A |
No it does not. |
|
|
|
Q |
Can
Depreciation Calculator be installed on a network? |
|
A |
If you purchase the multi user version you can install it
on a network server. However, you cannot install the
program on a network if you purchase the single user
version. |
|
|
|
Q |
Does
Depreciation Calculator automatically handle like-kind
exchanges or partial dispositions? |
|
A |
Depreciation
Calculator handles simple trade-ins of one vehicle for
another or one piece of equipment for another in
accordance with the provisions of IRB 2004-14. However,
the program does NOT handle complex Section 1031 like-kind
exchanges. The program DOES handle partial dispositions of
an asset. |
|
|
|
Q |
I
entered a lot of asset data with the demo version. Will I
have to re-enter this information after I purchase and
install the full version of Depreciation Calculator? |
|
A |
You
will NOT have to re-enter anything you entered while using
the demo version. It will be available to you once you
install the full version of Depreciation Calculator. (You
must install the full version on the same computer on
which you installed the demo.) |
