Section 179 carryover of disallowed deduction to 2025

I have a disallowed section 179 deduction on my 2024 return for rental property that I was not aware of until I completed my 2025 tax return and it came up as a disallowed carryover for 2025. I've researched how to correct the issue and I've amended my 2024 Federal and PA state return by simply depreciating the item. I mailed both amended returns this week to the IRS or State Revenue office as directed. In other words, my Section 179 error is corrected for 2024. It is not corrected however for 2025. I cannot seem to clear it on my 2025 return no matter what I do. I tried switching to Forms Mode as recommended and I manually deleted the carryover amount in line 10 I believe of Form 4562 and I manually updated the assets depreciation input to match my amended 2024 table. I set the carryover amount to "0". I thought that would fix the problem, but when I run a check, it still comes up as an error to correct, but now the box contains a zero.  How do I clear this error?? Once corrected, do I need to wait until my 2024 amended return is resolved to file 2025? Will I need to file an extension for 2025 since it can take 16 weeks to process? Thanks!! I hope you can help me.

Clear the error and file the return, no need to wait. Let's clear the error:

  1. Switch over to Forms mode
  2. Look for Carryover Wks
  3. Scroll down almost to the bottom and find Other Carryovers above lines 24 and 25.
  4. You can delete those fields or enter a zero without causing a red box.
  5. Look for Sch E Wks - the worksheet, 
  6. Scroll almost halfway down the side bar to carryovers to 2025 smart worksheet
  7. Line A is sec 179 carryover- it should be blank or zero now. You may need to cancel your override.
