How to get assets to carry from the federal 4562 screen to the PA Schedule C, page 2

Generally, when assets are entered on the 4562 depreciation detail screens, with C selected in the FOR drop list, they will automatically carry to the Pennsylvania Schedule C, page 2, part C-2, or the attachment PA EF ATE.

Assets will not carry to the PA C-2, if any of the following conditions apply:

  • Assets expensed using section 179

  • Amortized assets

  • Fully depreciated assets

  • Assets directed to the AUTO instead of the C when mileage is taken instead of expenses

To indicate to which line of the Schedule C-2 an asset should flow, use one of the following indicators:

  • Use the appropriate keyword for the Description field.

    • Note that the description must either contain or start with the term indicated below for the asset to carry to the specified line.

  • Under the State Specific Information section, select the State as PA, then choose the appropriate Asset type in the Asset type drop list.

  • Choose the Listed Property type in the Listed Prop Type drop list.
