Prior Special Depreciation Allowance
I have SDA in 2020 for my vehicle. Turbotax didn't get that info into my new file, so I'm trying to include the SDA amount in the form 4562. I have two options in the "Car & Truck Expenses Worksheet":
1) Line 36i "Special Depreciation Allowance": When I put the amount right here it showed me an error and the software suggested the field is supposed to be blank. Even though the explanation from "Help Center" says:
"The program only computes the Special Depreciation Allowance for property placed in service in the current year.
For vehicles placed in service in a prior year, you must enter the amount of Special Depreciation Allowance previously deducted.
If you entered a different AMT basis, then you must also enter the amount of AMT Special Depreciation Allowance previously deducted.
Do not include these amounts in Prior depreciation or AMT Prior depreciation"
2)Line 37 "Prior depreciation": I put the number here and everything looks correct, except the "Depreciation Report", because the amount is in the wrong place "Prior Depreciation", instead of the "Special Depreciation Allowance" column. The explanation from Help Center says: "...Don't include any Section 179 or Special Depreciation Allowance deductions". So it's like the amount is in the wrong field.
Where do I put the amount of prior special depreciation allowance?
