Do I need to enter anything in the Section 179 Carrover section of the 199A Worksheet by Activity. I never depreciated computer hardware purchased in 2022.

I purchased $1500 worth of computer hardware in 2022, the same year it was put into use. I didn't depreciate it in previous years. Turbotax shows the 199A Worksheet by Activity and says "Use the form below to enter any Section 179 Carryover for this business activity. Enter both Section 179 Regular Tax and Section 179 QBI information, if applicable." I don't understand this at all. Is this related to depreciation or something else? I'm not sure what, if anything, I should enter.

If you didn't depreciate any assets or claim the Section 179 deduction in prior/current tax years, leave this section blank. You have no Section 179 carryovers when you have no assets for depreciation.
