Thank you so much for your help. But my problem is not yet solved.
The way you say this works does not accord with how I did my 2021 and 2022 taxes. The items I was able to expense 100 percent in those years were entered in the Assets/Depreciation part of the program, and the amounts were part of Line 18 on Schedule E and Line 14 (Special Depreciation) of Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization). If you open my file again, you’ll see that the items I expensed in 2021 and 2022 are in the Special Depreciation column on the assets list.
This year (and in previous years), when I open the “Expenses” part of the program, I’m only able to enter the amounts that go into Lines 5-17 of Schedule E. There is no place to enter a hot water heater purchase, for example.
With regard to the De Minimis Safe Harbor, I’m pretty sure the 2023 Turbotax is not behaving like the 2021 and 2022 Turbotax.
