The screenshot you provided for tax year 2022 (Depreciation Report) does not match the entries on your current year return (per the diagnostic copy you provided).
Open the Car & Truck Wks (VW Tiguan) and scroll down to Part VI. Notice that Line 36(i) Special Depreciation Allowance is blank. In Part VIII Line 71, the Depreciable basis is $27,079, while your 2022 Depreciation Report shows this as $9,985.
It appears that this entry was missing from your 2023 return as well (top of the second page of the PDF). This means you took more depreciation last year than was correct. If this expense was not reported but was carried over to the next year, you don't need to file an amended return. But you may need to adjust the carryover amount on your current return.
However, you will need to correct this in your TurboTax file for 2023 in order to generate the reports you need to accurately calculate depreciation this year. You may find that this vehicle was no longer eligible for Special Depreciation on your 2023 return, most likely due to an entry error. You will need to check the "No" box on Line 36(a)(2) in order for the program to accept an amount on Line 36(i).
To correct this on your current return, you will need both the Depreciation Report and the AMT Depreciation Report from your CORRECTED 2023 return.
- Enter the Special Depreciation amounts on Part VI Line 36(i) and (j)
- Then enter the total of current and prior depreciation on each of those reports on the worksheet Part VI Lines 37 and 39 respectively.
- Finally, check Part VIII Line 71 to be sure the Depreciable basis matches your prior year return.
