Instant asset write off journal entries

Should I record an instant asset write off as an expense or depreciation via the balance sheet?

Thanks

  • Hi Rum 

     

    All Assets should be recorded to a Fixed Asset account in the Balance Sheet, and then the depreciation should be recorded to an Accumulated Depreciation account in the Balance Sheet and Depreciation expenses account in the Profit and Loss
