Asset Integration

Integration of the depreciation expense to labels in the main return or to other worksheets and schedules in Tax is offered at this dialog for non-pooled assets. Pool value Integration is a separate function performed in the Pool Properties dialog under the Integration tab.

An Integration point may be chosen in the Properties of the asset at any time or by selecting the Batch update button and then the Integration button and selecting one or more assets to be integrated to the same worksheet, schedule or label.

The following is an explanation of the fields and how to use them:

Once you choose the schedule or worksheet to integrate to and, depending on which schedule you select, further information is required at the next three fields. For example:

  1. If you select to integrate to the Reconciliation worksheet, Tax needs to know whether the deduction is for Primary Production or Non-Primary Production income and will prompt you to select this at the schedule item field.

  2. If you are integrating the asset to a Rental schedule and Tax detects that there is more than one Rental schedule for the taxpayer, you will be prompted to identify the Rental Property that the asset belongs to at the schedule number field.

  3. If you are integrating to the ATO work-related expenses schedule (W), you will need to tell Tax which item in the schedule and which entry at the item, so both the dchedule item and the entry number fields are required to be completed.

Schedule number

This field defaults to 1. If there is more than one of a particular schedule, say Rental, you will need to select the right rental schedule from the list where the property will be identified by the first line of address. If you have entered the assets prior to creating the Rental schedule, Tax will create a blank Rental schedule to attach this depreciation amount to. Those worksheets and schedules for which multiples are allowed are marked (Y) in the table above.

Schedule item

This field is only active for these schedules:

  • Individual return Work-related expenses items D2, D5 and gifts D10 grids

  • Reconciliation worksheet (a) where Tax needs to know the type of income (PP or Non-PP); or

  • Distributions received from Partnerships worksheet (dip) and Distributions received from Trusts worksheet (dit) where tax needs to know the type of income (PP or Non-PP – the default is Non-PP)

  • for Schedule W (ATO work expenses) Tax needs to know which item number in the Schedule W and which entry in that item.

Entry number

This field relates solely to the schedule W, which is made up of multiple items and allows multiple entries within those items. For example, if you have completed item D5 Other work-related deductions and you have 10 entries, this field determines which entry will receive the depreciation deduction amount.

Any depreciation calculated for an asset where an integration point has not been chosen will not be included at any label in any of the main forms.
