Deductions & credits

Problem solved!

For anyone interested I found this answer in the TTax forums.

I discovered I needed to simply delete the original asset then add its constituent parts as outlined here:

My thanks to EXPERT AnnetteB6 for this simple solution.

 

I was seeing the issue incorrectly. I was attempting (incorrectly) to modify an existing old asset. 

As always, things become much simpler once you see the explanation.
