If you are claiming a current year Section 179 deduction on only one activity (other than a K-1 pass-through deduction), then the program computes the limitation in Part I of Form 4562 for that activity. Do not use the Form 4562, Line 12 Smart Worksheet in this case, since it does not apply.
If you are claiming a current year Section 179 deduction on more than one activity or you have a K-1 pass-through deduction, the computation of the limitation is shown on Form 4562: Section 179 Limitation. In this case, line A of the Form 4562, Line 12 Smart Worksheet for the individual activities shows the unlimited Section 179 deduction.
If the deduction is limited, you must allocate the allowable Section 179. Both the Error Summary and Final Review will alert you when you need to make this adjustment. Enter the allowable Section 179 on line B of the Form 4562, Line 12 Smart Worksheet. If you do not make an entry on line B, the unlimited Section 179 from line A will be used on Form 4562, line 12.
Note: For K-1 pass-through deductions you enter the allowable Section 179 on K-1 Partnership Additional Information 1, Box 12, line 2, and on K-1 S Corporation Additional Information 1, Box 11, line 2.
Look at the amounts on A and B above the screenshot you sent.
