Accelerate Depreciation

[former_member571076]

Hi- We are looking to accelerate our assets for a particular location since we are moving a couple of years earlier than our lease end date. I thought it would be as easy as changing the life of the assets,  but when I change the life, the following happens:

Example:

Life is 10 years

Orig Cost: $100,000

2010 - $10,000

2011 - $10,000

2012 - $10,000

2013 - $10,000

2014 - $10,000

Say in Nov 2015 I change the life to 5 years

YTD Oct 2015 Depreciation is $8,4K

Nov 2015 - Wants to charge $10K (big unexpected hit in Nov to make up for depreciation for 2015)

Dec 2015 - $1.6K

2015 - $20,000 (It wants to charge the entire $20K in 2015, but I would like it to take the NBV and spread it evenly until say Feb 2017)

2016 - $20,000

2017 - $10,000

How can I just take the NBV and spread it over through Feb 2017?  I am fine with the way it's calculating 2016 and 2017, but don't think we should be taking a full years depreciation with the change in 2015.

I would like instead to look something like this:

YTD Oct 2015 Depreciation: $8.4K

NBV as of Oct is $42K

Nov - $2.6K

Dec - $2.6K

2016 - $31.5K

2017 - $5.2K (Jan anf Feb)

I am just looking to spread the NBV evenly through Feb 2015.

Thanks for your time.
