The prior preparer's schedule looks homemade.

That's a supported case. Spreadsheets built by hand — including ones from preparers who have long since retired — are read by meaning rather than by fixed column positions, with a confidence score on each row.

What if the schedule is missing pages?

The totals won't tie, and we'll tell you which activity is short. Better to find that before the return than after.

Depreciation schedules

The moment you flip to the depreciation schedule

Every new-client intake has the same few seconds: you page through the prior year return looking for the depreciation schedule and hoping it's there and complete. When it is, the reward is re-keying it.

What re-keying actually costs

Fifty to a hundred assets takes two to four hours. At the NATP average billing rate of $182 an hour that's $364 to $728 of your time, on a client you haven't billed yet, doing work that generates no judgment and no value — just the risk of a transposed basis.

Every field, not just the easy ones

Description, dates acquired and in service, cost, business-use percentage, method, life, prior depreciation by treatment, §179 current and prior, bonus current and prior, salvage, dispositions. Anything the schedule prints, we transcribe; anything it doesn't, we flag rather than fill in.

You still review it — that's the point

The reconciliation screen isn't a formality. It shows the totals from the PDF against the totals from the rows and refuses to produce a file until they agree. Reviewing three subtotals is a different job from re-typing two hundred lines.
