The "recovery period" refers to how long you are depreciating the asset.  If it is a vehicle, you would depreciate it over five years.  This would show up (or be entered as) 60 (months) on line 69 of the Car and Truck Expense Worksheet.

Thank you much, the vehicle was given to me by my father, I wrote $0 as purchase price, but then at the end it showed I needed to fill in, thank you again.
