Hi there, Jennalyn G. Let me share some information about tracking asset depreciation in QuickBooks Online.

 

Your QuickBooks Online account doesn't necessarily need an upgrade. We also haven't made any enhancements or changes to this feature, so you should be able to track an asset's depreciation.

 

For the option to show, we simply need to switch from Accountant view to Business view before creating an asset account.

 

After switching to Business view, you can delete and recreate the vehicle's account be sure the Account Type you select is Fixed Asset, and choose the appropriate Detail Type. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the upper right.
  2. Under Your Company, choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. At the top right, hit New.
  4. In the Account Type, select Fixed Asset.
  5. Choose the Detail Type that best describes the asset.
  6. Name the account.
  7. Mark the Track depreciation of this asset box, then the system will automatically create a Depreciation sub-account for the item.
  8. Fill in the original cost fields.
  9. Once done, hit Save and Close.
