Part VI Intangible Assets Amortization
Which intangible assets are amortized?
How many years amortize intangible assets?
Certain Section 197 intangible properties are to be amortized over 180 months:
Business books and records
Patents
Copyright
Formula, pattern
Process
Permit, license, or right issued by a government
Franchise, trademark, trade name including renewal fees
Business startup cost
Organizational cost to create a corporation or a partnership
It is important you read page 15-16 of Instructions to Form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization if you need to amortize an intangible property. You would find the section code the intangible asset belongs to and how many months you should amortize it.
The code section is entered in column D for the intangible property you placed in service during the tax year.
Line 42 is for intangible property placed in service in the year you are filing for.
Line 43 is for intangible properties placed in service in prior years
Line 44 is the total amortization deduction for the year for line 42 and 43.
You only complete form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization for the first year you placed an intangible property in your business. For the remaining years, you would claim the amortization deduction directly on your business tax return. You don’t need to complete Form 4562 Part VI. But if you placed an asset in service for the first time, you would complete Form 4562 for that year and any amortization for intangible asset placed in service in prior years, would go on line 43.
If you have a C Corporation, you would submit Form 4562 every year along with your business tax return Form 1120 for all depreciation deduction whether a new asset is placed in service for the first time or not.
