Deprec8 is a MS Excel macro application that generates 
depreciation schedules for tax and book purposes.  For tax 
purposes, it uses the IRS defined Modified Accelerated Cost 
Recovery System (MACRS) to calculate annual depreciation
amounts.  For tax purposes, most tangible depreciable 
property placed in service after 1986 must be depreciated 
under MACRS.  Deprec8 gives you the option of using the 
MACRS half-year or mid-quarter convention for property 
being "depreciated over 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 20 years.  
Schedules for 27.5 and 39 years use the IRS defined MACRS 
mid-month convention.  For book purposes, Deprec8 
generates schedules of any duration with either straight 
line, double declining balance or the sum of the years 
digits method.  Deprec8 handles fiscal years that do not 
follow the calendar year, and salvage values for book 
purposes.

Deprec8 can not eliminate the need for consulting advice 
from an accountant.  Ohio Star Software is not responsible 
for any problems caused by the improper use of this 
software, the improper application of accounting principles 
or the violation of tax laws.

How to use Deprec8.xlm
