Switching from Fixed Assets CS
Get your busy season back.
DepreciationPro™ runs the assets in a browser and exports straight back to UltraTax CS. You drop the Virtual Office login, the 15-user cap, and the $15-20K Cloud upgrade quote.
Busy season stops backing up on the asset tie-out.
One register ties out federal and state, with the rule behind every number in view. The partner signs off because it's defensible, not because it's midnight.
A new client, running the same afternoon.
Drop in the FA CS export and the AI cleans it: columns mapped, method codes normalized, prior-year accumulated depreciation carried through. You review a register instead of retyping one.
No Virtual Office seat to add a reviewer.
Any browser. A new preparer signs in without an IT ticket.
Federal and state on one register.
All 50 states plus DC, auto-decoupled, with AMT adjustments alongside and the rule behind every number.
Year-end updates, no patch cycle.
Rule changes ship as they take effect. Open the browser in January and you're current.
One click back to UltraTax CS.
Form 4562 and 4797 flow in for return prep, with nothing re-keyed at filing.
Cost seg you bill for.
FA CS sends it to an outside specialist. CostSegPro™ is built in, so your firm keeps the fee, and with OBBBA's 100% bonus back one study is worth tens of thousands in year-one write-offs.

Common questions
Does it work with UltraTax CS?
Yes. One-click export sends Form 4562 and 4797 data into UltraTax CS for return prep, so nothing gets re-keyed at filing.
What happens to prior-year accumulated depreciation?
Include it in the export (beginning accumulated, prior bonus, prior 179) and DepreciationPro continues from that basis. We don't recompute history.
Do year-end updates arrive automatically?
Yes. Rule changes ship as they take effect, with no patch cycle to coordinate.
How long is the first tie-out?
Under an hour when the export is clean and prior-year accumulated depreciation is included. Calculation transparency explains any delta line by line.
