Was 2002 a short-year return?

I ran your figures and get $148 first year depreciation
(Pro-Series 2002) which is correct. Did you use the
Car/Truck worksheet? The instructions state at top of asset
entry worksheet to do that for vehicles.

Default ProSeries MQ 200DB calculation

I am puzzled about a ProSeries depreciation calculation. I
have a new 2003 client. I took his 2002 return and entered
it into ProSeries 2002 so I would have the information to
carry forward to 2003 and beyond.

The business bought a delivery van on 10/01/2002 for $2984.
In ProSeries2002 I set up the asset in the worksheet: 5yr
life, MQ200DB. The worksheet shows the depreciation expense
as $298. The same amount is carried forward to the Asset
Life History. This amount is wrong. Using the MQ table for
the fourth qtr, the rate should be 5% in the 1st year or
$149. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?
