Deductions & credits

Thank you for this information.  Since I lost my electricity and brought the return back with my saved copy I get to start again.  I believe I used 1/1/22 as the last day used and then somehow the $14 was there.  (I was going to play with numbers but never had that chance). I also could not find that $14 when I looked for it on any of the forms or in my Schedule C or on a asset/depreciation schedule.  The step by step just came up with allowing that amount. 

 

My depreciation is $328 so if I divide that by 12 months it is $27.33 so 1 month would be taken by the system as $27.  The $14 would be half of that so is getting rid of my office as of 1/1/22 putting a half of a month into depreciation?  If so then it seems it would be better to use 12/31/21?  I claimed my home office for the entire year of 2021 so I don't want to alarm the IRS with stopping using it on the last day of the year.  

 

Then again, turbo tax does not seem to create a form for the stopping the use of your office.  

 

Please let me know which date I should use so I do not cause a problem for last year's return and do not accumulate any depreciation for this year.

 

I appreciate all your replies they have really been helpful that you have answered all my questions.
