1041 Schedule E Depreciation Form 4562: 200BD/HY rather than 200DB/MQ

I'm taking over from a CPA and using turbotax Business to fill 2024 1041 return

When I depreciate a water heater for a residential rental property, I'm surprised that TurboTax uses 200DB/HY even though I specified that the "Date in Service" is 11/15/19.

 

Here are the parameters:

Description: Water Heater

Date in service: 11/15/2019

This asset was used 100% for business

Description of asset: Tools, Machinery, Equipment, Furniture -> Rental property furnishing

Amount paid: $1099.

No special depreciation deduction in prior years.

When I take a look at Form 4562, TurboTax uses 200DB/HY when it should be 200DB/MQ since the asset was put in service the last 3 months of the year.

 

What am I doing wrong?
