Congrats on purchasing your franchise!

With respect to the Franchise Fees, the IRS requires that you treat these fees as an asset and amortize them over 15 years, under the straight-line method. For example, if your franchise fees were $50,000, you would amortize at ($50,000 divided by 15 years) $3,333 per year.
