Get 50% OFF QuickBooks for 3 months*
Buy nowI have another question I am hoping someone can help me with. I could swear I saw at one point in QBO a place to enter a percentage and years for depreciation of an asset but am not able to find it now. Is there such a place. Here is what I have - I have a company truck that I am trying to depreciate x% over 5 years. I thought I could enter this information and have a recurring transaction monthly or yearly until the asset is depreciated. Or do I have to manually calculate the depreciation each year and do the appropriate journal entries?
Year end stuff is soo stressful!!
I understand what you feel, @ChristyV. I've come to help you manage depreciation in QuickBooks Online.
Calculating asset depreciation is a tricky process because they aren't depreciated automatically by the system. Instead, you can manually create journal entries to track depreciation.
For a more detailed step-by-step procedure, you can review this article: Depreciate assets in QuickBooks Online.
While doing this, I recommend consulting your accountant for guidance to ensure you track them seamlessly. If you don't have one, consider visiting this link to look for one in your area: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/
I'm more than willing to listen if you have any other concerns about handling your properties. I'll ensure your needs are taken care of. Keep safe always.
It needs to be calculated manually and then entered in QBO. The journal entry is: debit Depreciation Expense, credit Accumulated Depreciation - Truck (fixed asset account). You can set up a recurring journal entry so the entry is automatically made each month.
