The solution
Yes these get entered by journal entry to start up costs.

For business start-up and organization costs paid or incurred after September 8, 2008, a corporation can deduct up to $5000.00 of such costs for the year it begins business. The $5000.00 deduction is reduced by the amount the total cost exceeds $50,000.00. If the total costs are $55,000.00 or more, the deduction is reduced to zero. Any costs not deducted must be amortized over a 180 month period, beginning with the month the corporation begins business.
