January can be a little blah…but not this one! We’re happy to announce that the Sage Fixed Assets 2025.1 release is now available! Packed with tax compliance, new features and enhancements, and even a sleek new CIP (Construction in Progress, formerly Planning) application, we know this release will bring you and your team the peace of mind you need to be more efficient and compliant in the tax season. 

What’s new

• Yearly tax updates—Includes Section 179 deduction limits, vehicle depreciation caps for 2025, fileable Form 4562 for 2023–2024, updated Audit Advisor validations for accurate filings, and more.
• All-new Sage Fixed Assets—CIP (Construction in Progress) application—Capture all project costs and track spending against budgets, monitor individual line items that will become fixed assets, and transition completed assets directly into Sage Fixed Assets—Depreciation for seamless lifecycle management! And now, you can purchase CIP seats independently of Depreciation—offering more flexibility.
• Sharper reporting insights*—The drill-down feature of the Quarterly Acquisition report allows you to explore acquisitions by month.
• Workflow enhancements*—Save time with features like remembered group views and the ability to rotate images.
• Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server update*—Enhanced security, compatibility with newer database versions and SQL standards, and better database connectivity.
