Prior Year Special Depreciation Allowance
In 2020, I purchased a truck for $32,227 that qualified for full 100% Special Depreciation allowance. I used it 95.33% for business so the total special depreciation I took was $30,722.
When I go through the interview questions this year, there is no question that asks me to enter prior year special depreciation taken. There is only a question regarding prior section 179 deductions taken and one about prior depreciation (learn more link on this page says DO NOT include prior special depreciation here because it will ask about it next, but it never does ask).
This year the business use of my truck is calculated at 95.56%. When I get to the end, it calculates my deprecation expense for this year as $158. I would like to know how this $158 depreciation expense was calculated. I tried contacting TurboTax live help multiple times and all that I've spoken with cannot explain how TurboTax calculated the $158.
