These costs are recorded as a long-term asset on the balance sheet (probably in an Other Assets line).

The costs are then charged to expense over the life of the associated bond, using the straight-line method. Under this amortization method

you charge the same amount of the asset to expense in each period over the life of the bonds.

The full period over which bond issue costs should be charged to expense is from the date of bond issuance to the bond maturity date.
