FAQ
What is a Journal Entry for Lease? A journal entry for a lease records the financial transactions related to the leasing of an asset. This involves documenting the initial recognition of lease obligations and assets, as well as ongoing payments and expenses.

Effective January 1, 2025, sales and use taxes apply to most leased or rented tangible personal property. Please refer to Informational Bulletin FY 2025-15, Illinois Sales and Use Tax Applies to Leased or Rented Tangible Personal Property.
Once we have gathered our information (i.e., we know the lease term, the lease payment, and the discount rate), we simply discount the liability over the lease term, using the discount rate. We then record the lease liability, or the resulting amount, on the balance sheet. Then, we record the lease asset.
