Fixed Asset Review (FAR)

Fixed Asset Review (FAR)

A Fixed Asset Review (FAR) is the process of examining and evaluating an organization’s fixed assets to ensure accurate tax reporting, proper management, and efficient utilization.

Fixed Asset Reviews allows companies to correct past tax depreciation schedules and current year expenditures to increase depreciation expense deductions, achieve compliance, and set a precedent for managing depreciation schedules going forward. While fixed asset reviews are not a new concept, the opportunities afforded to taxpayers by the Tangible Property Regulations, PATH Act, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and CARES Act are highly complex and difficult to apply.

Fixed Assets FAQs

What are the asset classifications for depreciation?

Assets are typically classified into categories such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, equipment, furniture, and land improvements. Each classification has a different useful life for depreciation purposes, which determines how the asset’s cost is spread over time. A proper fixed asset review ensures that assets are correctly classified to maximize tax benefits and compliance.

What is the meaning of fixed asset depreciation?

Fixed asset depreciation refers to the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life. This process recognizes the asset’s wear and tear, age, and obsolescence, allowing businesses to account for the expense gradually instead of in one lump sum.

How many years do fixed assets depreciate?

The number of years a fixed asset depreciates depends on the asset type and IRS guidelines. For example, office furniture may depreciate over 7 years, computers over 5 years, and non-residential real estate over 39 years. A fixed asset review helps ensure businesses are applying the correct depreciation periods.
