No, to correct the error, "the elect out of SDA should be Blank", delete the Asset Entry Worksheet for the asset that is not Qualified property.

 

IRS Pub. 946 pages 22-23 states, "You can take a special depreciation allowance to recover part of the cost of qualified property placed in service during the tax year. The allowance applies only for the first year you place the property in service. The allowance is an additional deduction you can take after any section 179 deduction and before you figure regular depreciation under MACRS for the year you place the property in service.

 

Qualified property is one of the following.

 • Certain plants bearing fruits and nuts."
