Pennsylvania Schema Validation Error for Missing Schedule C Information

A schema is the set of rules describing how the e-filed return data should be organized and validated. A Pennsylvania individual tax return may not pass schema validation if Schedule C is missing information for assets being depreciated.

To correct a validation error related to missing asset information, from the Pennsylvania Tax Return Menu select:

• Pennsylvania Taxable Income
• Business Income or Loss
• PA Schedule C - Select the business.
• Expenses
• Depreciation
• Other Depreciation
• Other Depreciation - For each asset listed, ensure each has something entered in each field:
• Description of Property
• Date Acquired

• Depreciation Allowed in Prior Years
• Method of Computing Depreciation
• Life or Rate
