H&R BLOCK Tax Analyst Certification - Case Study 2 Prepare a return using BlockWorks in PRACTICE mode. Access and use the BlockWorks shell return by entering the following four-digit code: 6102. A unique SSN will be generated by the software. Be sure to note this unique shell SSN so that you will be able to re-access this return. Prepare a 2017 Schedule E (Form 1040) for Mona. Any of Mona's information that is not associated with the Schedule E (Form 1040) has already been entered for you. Mona wants to compare Schedule E (Form 1040) results when the special/bonus depreciation allowance is elected versus when it is not. Therefore, prepare returns for both scenarios.
