I am amending my 2019 tax returns because i have determined that i can use section 179 to deduct an expense on a commercial real estate building that i own. I have changed the depreciation entry and checked the box to take 100% deduction in 2019 instead of the 39 year depreciation, On the "Your Property Assets page" it shows the full amount of the improvement listed under the section 179 column. However it does not deduct that amount - or any amount from the taxable income from that property. I am have not come close to the annual limit for section 179.
When i look at this in FORMS, the amount appears in the CARRYFORWARD TO 2020 SMART WORKSHEET, but the amount is not deducted from the income. In fact the taxable income goes up because the depreciated part of this expense has been removed.
I feel that there is a bug in the program because there is no reason that i can find to push this forward to 2020.
If i am not asking this question in the correct place please guide me gently to the correct location
Thank you
