What is depreciation and how to account for depreciation in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Depreciation is the difference between the purchase price of a fixed or tangible asset and the value of that asset up to a specific date in its life cycle in a business. For this reason it is also known as Accumulated Depreciation. The asset is shown on the balance sheet until it is sold or is deemed to have reached the end of it's life cyle. In this video you will see an example of an asset being "disposed" of and how you show the transactions in QuickBooks Online. Your accountant would advise on the actual monetary values

How do you account for interest on depreciation with Quick books? Do you only add journal entires? Do you have a QB tutorial?

[@alizina59]

Thank you

[@FinancialGym]

You are welcome Alizina! Best wishes

[@francisjackson4979]

Thank how you calculate de depreciation

[@rreid444]

Well done video! So how would one do a 179 depreciation in Quickbooks? Say 7 year lifespan but take the entire depreciation in one year under section 179 (tax code US)? And, when is the asset removed from the balance sheet?

[@FinancialGym]

If your accountant agrees you qualify then the treatment should be the same in principle, except you will have zero balances with nothing to carry forward.

[@kinnjoseevangelista333]

Thanks! That's very helpful. Is there a fixed asset registry in QBO same as in Xero in which you just register your fixed assets and the system will just generate the journal entries automatically?

[@FinancialGym]

I am afraid QuickBooks does not at this point in time.

[@christyawung4756]

Thanks fo r the video..i wish to ask if servicing of a car is considered depreciation consider the car is 6 month old and has a life span of 5 years

[@FinancialGym]

Thanks for commenting. No, servicing is just an expense. Best wishes

[@abaibrahim6709]

Great video, but curious to know where the depreciation in quickbook is set on monthly or annually?

[@FinancialGym]

Here's a link to a video that should answer that for you. czcams.com/video/MLzU6p7JPsY/video.html

[@FinancialGym]

My pleasure, thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@yaserchow]

Do I need to do this every month? Or will Quickbooks online depreciate monthly until it reaches zero?

[@FinancialGym]

QuickBooks Online will depreciate it for you if you set up a Recurring Journal to run each month.

[@arifulsohag1782]

thank you, I can visualise now how I can do real life work.

[@GavinPotter]

Does Quickbooks Online have a fixed asset register?

[@FinancialGym]

Hi Gavin, at the moment it does not. You will have to track it separately and then enter the monthly or annual depreciation as manual journals.

[@GavinPotter]

@@FinancialGym Thank you for the reply. Do you have any external FAR's you would recommend in use with QBO?

[@FinancialGym]

@@GavinPotter We tend to create our own in Excel, or if it is needed to be integral/automated you might be better with something like Xero. Send a message via the contact page on my website, I might send you a gift :-) financialgymforbusiness.com/contact/
