recording incorporation costs to match T2 export

QuickBooks Canada : Pro 2012

First year of new corporation.  Using Quickbooks and exporting to Turbo Tax T2 for taxes.  How do I book the incorporation costs so that they will export correctly to the tax software as Cumulative Eligible Capital?

I set up other asset account linked to tax line 2018 Intangible Assets - Incorp Costs, and debited 75% of the incorp expense there, the other 25% to Legal Fees.

Then I set up other asset account linked to tax line 2019 Accum Amort Incorp costs.  There I will credit the 7% reduction with the debit going to Legal Fees.

Is this correct and will it export properly to the T2?    This is a small business and the main (if not only) reason for financial statements is for tax purposes.

In theory you are correct that incorporation cost are an eligible capital expenditure, 75% which is deductible by way of the annual eligible deduction of 7%. However, the 25% you have expensed is not deductible and the annual amount of the deduction usually goes under an amortization expense account.

You will find that most accountants these days write off as an expense the entire cost of incorporation and CRA tends to look the other way.

CRA's GIFI tax codes do not include a line specifically for Elegible Capital Expenditures, and not all Intangilbe Assets are elegible capital expenditures, so it is not possible to map a GL account to a GIFI line to automatically perform the correct amortization for tax purposes.
