ProConnect depreciation import, from a PDF
ProConnect users are in an odd spot: the software has a perfectly good spreadsheet import for depreciation, and neither of the big scan-and-populate vendors supports ProConnect at all. The trail is there and nothing feeds it.
Intuit's 17-column template, filled in
The output matches Intuit's published Depreciation_Template.xlsx exactly: description (truncated to the 25 characters ProConnect allows), form number, activity number, category 1–8, date placed in service, cost, current §179, method code, prior §179, prior special depreciation allowance, prior depreciation, prior bonus, AMT prior depreciation and the four book columns. Only the first worksheet is imported, so the file has exactly one.
Form numbers change meaning by return type
On a 1040, form number 2 is Schedule C; on a 1065 it's Form 1125-A cost of goods sold. We ask which return you're preparing and map each asset's printed activity heading to the right number for that module — and flag any heading we can't place with confidence.
1041 returns
Intuit's data rules mark five columns as not applicable to Form 1041 — current §179 and the four book columns. We leave them out of a 1041 file rather than letting the import reject it.
Questions
- Where do I run the import?
- In ProConnect: Import → Spreadsheet → Depreciation, then point it at the file.
- Why is my description shortened?
- ProConnect caps the description at 25 characters. We truncate rather than let the row fail on import.
