Can you record intangible assets in Fixed Asset Manager on Quickbooks Desktop?

Hello, my company utilizes the Fixed Asset Manager on Quickbooks Desktop to record fixed assets and record depreciation. Is it possible to setup intangible assets in fixed asset manager to record amortization? Does the module care about the distinction between tangible and intangible assets?

 

Thanks

Can you record intangible assets in Fixed Asset Manager on Quickbooks Desktop?

I can share some details about adding intangible assets in Fix Asset Manager (FAM), @abhibhatt23.

 

This feature only requires saving tangible assets data in the meantime. You can reference this article for more details about handling fixed assets: Set up Fixed Asset Manager (FAM). After the setup, you can take a look at how to use Fixed Asset Manager in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, I recommend consulting your accountant to get advice and guide on how to setup intangible assets to record amortization. You can also find an accountant near you if you don't have one.

 

Feel free to reply here if you have other questions about FAM. I'm always ready to help you out. Take care and have a nice day ahead!

Thanks for the response - I just want to be clear that these are intangible assets (trademarks, patents, etc) and not tangible assets (fixed assets). Similar to fixed assets, we want to calculate the net book value and the amortization. Is it possible to set this up in Fixed Asset Manager?
