Convert duplex from 100% owner to 50/50 owner/tenant. Last rented in 2018.

I moved into the lower unit (50%) of my duplex in 2018.  I had renters there part of the year.  I filed my 2018 taxes as usual, splitting supplies, taxes, expenses, etc., and claiming depreciation. 

I did not claim any rental income in 2019 so there was no schedule E or depreciation report. 

Then I re-rented the upstairs unit (I live downstairs) starting 1/1/2020.  I know how to do the expenses, but not sure about depreciation.  As indicated, I moved back into the building and occupied 50% of it after renting both units for the 12 previous years.  I am thinking of transferring and hand entering the data as it stood at year end 2018, but I'm not sure.
