Amortization of Intangible Assets. To illustrate the amortization of an intangible asset, imagine XYZ Biotech spends $30 million dollars on a patent with a useful life of 15 years. Theoretically, to account for the expense over a 15-year period, XYZ Biotech records $2 million each year as an amortization expense.
To qualify as a long-term asset for amortization, the trademark must last at least 12 months. Amortize the trademark over 180 months to determine your allowable tax deduction. You must complete Form 4562 if you have any trademark amortization deductions to report.ivide the total capitalized cost by the economic life of the trademark to determine the monthly amortization amount. Amortization is shown on the company's general ledger as an expense. To set up the asset account in your general ledger, debit the total cost of the trademark.
