Important Tax Compliance Updates

New U.S. tax laws have increased Section 179 depreciation thresholds by up to $90,000, which can potentially save your organization thousands in tax liability. Take full advantage of your new depreciation allowances with built-in updates in the newest version of your fixed assets software.

Fixed asset management should be quick, easy, and accurate. The latest feature enhancements support this ideal by providing fast help, streamlined exports, and more.
Note that some enhancements apply only to the Depreciation module or to subscription licenses.

Say goodbye to manual formatting and speed your decision-making with direct Excel exports that provide a clean, structured format ready for analysis, sharing, and presentations.

Easily select multiple assets simultaneously with checkboxes that clearly show which assets are selected.
- 50-year estimated life for MACRS real property
