Deductions & credits
You may consider deleting the vehicle in the program and re-enter it.
If the vehicle was first used for business in 2019 ("placed in service"), you have a choice between (1) the Standard Mileage Rate (which has depreciation built-in to it) and (2) Actual Expenses (which includes depreciation, which is when you need to enter the cost of the vehicle).
I know in prior years it would ask you for the required information for the Standard Mileage Rate (see my previous comment for what it would ask for) and after that it would ask if you want to enter information for the Actual Expenses. Maybe that changed this year and just automatically asks you for everything, then gives you a choice between the two??? I'm not sure.
At any rate, if the program is claiming depreciation, it is using the Actual Expenses rather than the Standard Mileage Rate. As I said before, if you ever want to use the Standard Mileage Rate for this vehicle, you MUST use it this year (the first year). So you need to make sure it is not actually claiming depreciation.
If it is still not making sense or the program is not behaving like it is meant to, you may want to contact Customer Support to help you walk through it.
