Fixing a intangible amortization error
We discovered that we have made an error when setting up the Amortization for a Renewal Franchise Fee. The Amortization term was set at 15 years on a $12,500 payment in 2019. It should have been done on a 5 year term which is the renewal term in the contract. We are a little unsure how to correct this and do we have to file a 3115. Are we just able to adjust the amortization this year and take difference on this years tax return? The result of this is the same as amending 3 prior years as no tax was paid and the loss would be carried forward to this year.
