Where can I find my Depreciation Schedule or Fedral Asset Report for 2021?

[hattywu33]

I filed by myself using Turbo Tax for 2021, and for 2022 I'm having a CPA do the filing. She's asking me for a copy of my 2021 Depcreciation Schedule that has information such as Date In Service, Basis for Depr, Prior, Current, etc. My CPA looked at the full 2021 return that I downloaded from Turbo Tax account and said this form is not included. 
Anyone knows where I should get this Depreciation Schedule?
Thanks a lot!

I don't know for the Online version.  You probably have to give her copies of all the prior returns that show when you added an asset.  Maybe if you downloaded the .tax2021 file and installed the Desktop program you could get the full depreciation info.

Form 4562 is just a Summary of the Depreciation for the current year and doesn't list the items.

Using the Desktop program you can get an Asset Life History worksheet but you have to do it in Forms Mode, click Forms in the upper right (upper left for Mac)  You can't get detailed worksheet showing all the assets but you can get the Asset Life History on each one. It doesn't print out with your return or save in the pdf.  So you have to print each Asset Life History individually.

Scroll down the list of forms in your return to a Asset Entry or Asset Worksheet and open it.  Then down on line 14 is a QuickZoom button to Asset Life History, Click on that.

Save a fresh PDF now ... it will include all of the forms & worksheets. Then send the PDF file to the CPA ( don't print 100+ pages) and let them look for the depreciation worksheet (hint ... it is the only form in landscape format).  If you have not been taking depreciation then the CPA should be able to detect that and make the needed corrections.  

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

If you have not yet started a 2022 return : 

Start the 2022 online tax return by entering some personal information (about a dozen screens) even if you will NOT use the TT program for the 2022 return.  Then click on Tax Home on the left side of the screen.

On the Tax Home webpage -

Scroll down to the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.
