Important Updates from the Latest Version of Sage Fixed Assets

After creating your asset, you can open and view the asset’s related Vendor Invoice in Sage Intacct by clicking the link in Sage Fixed Assets – Depreciation Asset Detail.

3. Faster Entry for QIP Property
Under current U.S. tax law, Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) has a 15-year recovery period for the General Depreciation System (GDS) and a 20-year recovery period for the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS).
To save you time when entering QIP, Sage Fixed Assets 2024.1 now defaults to an estimated life of 15 years if the Depreciation Method MA100 (MACRS straight-line plus 168/bonus) is selected and 20 years if the Depreciation Method AA (ADS straight-line plus 168/bonus) is selected.
4. What about the Upcoming Tax Law Changes?
Sage can’t control Congress, but they can find ways to make change as painless as possible for you. If Congress enacts the law (H.R. 7024), Sage will provide an update to the 2024.1 tax release soon afterward.
On January 31, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 7024. The bill’s fate is uncertain in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed for passage, and opposition has emerged. With the Senate on recess from February 10 to 25, discussion on the bill is not expected until after February 25. Any amendments, whether in committee or on the floor, could complicate final approval, requiring re-passage by the House.
