Adding Short Years

There are some cases, such as when a business experiences a merger or an acquisition, where it might be necessary to add a short fiscal year to a business's credit history.

To add a short year:

  1. Navigate to the Calculations page.
  2. With either the Simplified or Regular method selected, hover over a study year on the table.
  3. Click + Short Year. This will add an entry between the two years.
  4. Reflect the history of the business by correcting any overlaps between years and editing the years' Fiscal Start and Fiscal End dates.
    1. Note: Doing so will also convert the adjacent entry to a short year.
  5. Fill new Short-Year (SY) entry with the Gross Receipts and QREs generated during that time period. 
    1. Note: Observe that beneath these values will be displayed an SY Adjusted Value. This adjusted value will be used to calculate your credit.
