Sec. 179 - Asset Entry Worksheet Issue

I am getting a confusing error message when TT does its final check before e-file.  

 

I own a rental property in MD.  In 2021, I took an $1800 Sec. 179 depreciation expense.  MD is decoupled from federal 179 limits ($25K annual ceiling) which I'm obviously way under that limit.

 

Here is the error message I'm getting: "Schedule E Worksheet -- Asset Entry Worksheet (Electrical Panel): State Section 179 (MD) should be blank. MDOnly rental activities identified as commercial property qualify for a Section 179 deduction. This applies to asset types A, B, D, E, F, G and H."

 

Why would this be left blank?  I have an allowable 179 exp. at the state level.
