Asset history and fixed asset manager

[Marie]

I used the asset history tab in the asset entry. I seem to have clients who fail to tell me capital assets sometimes, and I would put in and could get the previous depreciation allowed or allowable to complete the 4562. And to compute basis. This tab is still there, but a message telling me to call sales about the fixed asset manager. I talked with support, then sales and I can buy for 1/2 price til the end of the year. A think I can figure some previous depreciation for $190. Has anyone else looked into this? Is there more to the Fixed asset manager than asset history that would make it worth the price?

Two things. First, you can always go into the 08 program, enter the asset, and make a copy of the asset history, then delete the asset.

As for the asset manager program, it's useful for those clients with large numbers of assets, but probably not needed by many preparers.

Thanks, they're sending me a trial, but I could not see a whole lot of use for me.
