- Did you just get your depreciation schedule from your tax professional?
Are you ready to learn how to enter depreciation into QuickBooks?
In this video, I will share what depreciation is, and how to enter it into QuickBooks both for Desktop and Online users. đ
âĄď¸ Depreciation
In accounting terms, depreciation is defined as the reduction of recorded cost of a fixed asset in a systematic manner until the value of the asset becomes zero or negligible.
âĄď¸ Assets
An example of fixed assets are buildings, furniture, office equipment, machinery, vehicles, etc.
Land is the only exception which cannot be depreciated as the value of land appreciates with time.
âĄď¸ RulesâŚ
Depreciation allows a portion of the cost of a fixed asset to the revenue generated by the fixed asset.
This is mandatory under the matching principle as revenues are recorded with their associated expenses in the accounting period when the asset is in use.
This helps in getting a complete picture of the revenue generation transaction.
âĄď¸ GAAP:â
In the United States, accountants must adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in calculating and reporting depreciation on financial statements.
GAAP is a set of rules that includes the details, complexities, and legalities of business and corporate accounting.
GAAP guidelines highlight several separate allowable methods of depreciation that accounting professionals may use.
âĄď¸ IRS
The IRS has information about the depreciation and lifespan of assets.
www.irs.gov/publications/p946
âĄď¸ Three main inputs are required to calculate depreciations:
1. Useful life - this is the time period over which the organization considers the fixed asset to be productive. Beyond its useful life, the fixed asset is no longer cost effective to continue the operation of the asset.
2. Salvage value - Post the useful life of the fixed asset, the company may consider selling it at a reduced amount. This is known as the salvage value of the asset.
3. The cost of the asset - this includes taxes, shipping, and preparation/setup expenses.
âĄď¸ How the Different Methods of Depreciation Work
âĄď¸ There are three methods for depreciation:
Straight Line
Declining Balance
Sum-of-the-Yearsâ Digits
âĄď¸ What vehicles qualify for the full section 179 deduction?
SUVs, trucks, vans, and other vehicles that donât qualify as passenger vehicles arenât subject to the IRS limits. You can take a full depreciation deduction each year. Using bonus depreciation and Section 179, you may be able to deduct all or most of the cost of such a vehicle in a single year.

As you mentioned, and one of the big advantages of QuickBooks is working around the Journal Entry, which is a bit intermediating for most unprofessional users, & can get you in trouble if you don't have any idea or experience with Ledgers, so it can be very helpful if you can post the process of by passing the Journal Entry by using the Chart of account only.
Great presentation. Thank you!

This helped me so much!! Everything I read online completely neglected to mention the depreciation expense account, which was causing my asset to be out of balance. Thank you!

Hi! Thank you so much for this! This was very helpful! How would you suggest listing over 20 FAs in QBO if coming from an previous CPA with no bookkeeping and only the Tax Asset Detail from Desktop? They have disposed of over half the list and added others.

You're so much better than my accountant
Really I love you the most amount. My accountant did my taxes last year and this year I'm doing turbotax and couldn't figure out why it didn't match and you helped me figure it out. He should have told me to adjust for depreciation in QB! Although he would have mansplained it so I'd rather hear it from you :)
Hi Christine,

good video. I have a question. For companies that are remote only and have an international contractors team, and which don't have any physical goods, how to do amortization/depreciation? I suppose that they probably have intangible assets, such as know-how. How to add it in that case? How to even valuate that know-how properly?

Hi. Thanks for this video! It was really helpful. There was one part that confused me. You mentioned that the Depreciation shows up as an expense on the Balance Sheet, but I thought the Depreciation Expense is on the Income Statement and the Accumulated Depreciation shows up on the Balance Sheet. Can you please clarify? I am new and still learning. Thanks. :)
Hello Jacqueline,
Expenses will show on the Profit and Loss
Assets (Accumulated Depreciation) will show up on the Balance Sheet.
Have a great day!
Candus
Jacueline, depreciation shows on the Balance Sheet because that's where assets show up and Accumulated Depreciation as a contra-asset account.
Hi, is there a way where i can define the asset life and have the system generate the Dep/Acc Dep monthly instead of manual entries? Thank you.

What is the name or form number that the accountant prepares that list all your depreciated assets? And does it show previous balances from prior year(s)? I want to check for accuracy. This video presentation was straight forward. Thank you

If I have 5 vehicles should I do the depreciation in a sub account also or is it necessary
Tami,
This is totally up to how you want to see it on your reports.
Hello! I am never given any worksheet from my CPA showing my journal entries I need to make on depreciation for any fixed asset. Is there a way to find them on the tax returns or figure out what they should be? I have fixed assets that are from prior years that I'd like to remove from my books that I have sold especially in 2021.
Hi,
The tax return should have the fixed depreciation schedule include.

Thanks! Please, I don't understand what is the use of creating the items in "Fixed Asset Item List"... Is there no way to "Call" them in the registry? is it just to have the information?

@@CandusKampfer thank you!
I prefer to book depreciation monthly so I have a better income statement review by the 10th.
You started showing us how to set up a Fixed Account. You then immediately confused us by switching around by setting up Accumulated Depreciation Account. Was there a video on how to set up Fixed Account? I looked in your library but did not see one.
How to set up a loan from your company to another entity?

Your English is too fastđ thank you!
There is a little wheel in the right bottom corner (settings) where you can slow down the video if you'd like. đ
Kindra/Team Candus
@@CandusKampfer Thank you so much! Do you have video on quickBooks for manufacturing company?
Yes, she speaks very fast but clearly. Sadly, in the US, English is spoken very fast due to the influence of Spanish speakers. English sounds extraordinarily BEAUTIFUL when it is spoken just the way the Brits intended.
Please remove the other pre-created accounts; in this case, pre-created "Depreciation" & "Accu. Depreciation". It will be helpful for better understanding.
Thank you for your feedback. đ
