Helpful Hints and Suggestions
- Your original DR-405 form contains your parcel number and a bar code. Please use this form to file your return or attach it to your computer prepared form.
- Please provide the physical address where the property is located and indicate if address has changed.
- If you change your location or mailing address, please inform this office.
- Attach a list of assets or your depreciation schedule.
- Indicate any assets physically removed or added prior to January 1st.
- If a CPA fills out your return, check to make sure they have removed any property that you no longer own. Check for accuracy before you sign it.
- Be sure to list property you have disposed of in the appropriate area on the return. That way you can avoid being taxed for property you no longer own.
- Economic lives differ for various assets, so the more detail provided with the return, the more accurate we can be in the application of depreciation factors.
- Do not use the term “same as last year” or “no change” on your return.
- The law requires a substantial financial penalty when a return is filed late. If you cannot complete the return by April 1, request an extension.
- Please sign and date form and provide a telephone number.
