CCH Axcess Tax

Category (Cat.) Code

In addition to listing assets by department, the assets may be grouped by the categories used by the IRS.

The "Category" feature may be used with or without the "Department" feature. If both features are used, the assets are listed by department, and within each department, by category. The "Department" and "Category" features may be used together for some assets, separately for others, or not at all for still other assets.

The federal depreciation and amortization detail report lists all departments in ascending numerical order, based on the "Department Number" entry. If an asset does not have a "Department" or "Category" entry, the asset prints before the assets which do have a "Department" and/or a "Category" entry.

Valid codes for this field are:

B Buildings
F Furniture and Fixtures
L Land
M Machinery and Equipment
T Transportation Equipment

Note: When Depreciation and Depletion Options and Overrides worksheet, Depreciation Options section, Sort Asset by Depletion Number on Detail Depreciation Report field, has an "X" entered, assets are sorted by depletion number. To sort assets by department number and/or category code, Sort Asset by Depletion Number on Detail Depreciation Report field must be blank.
