Business & farm
If you no longer have possession of these old assets, my advice would stay the same. Carry all your assets (even with their vague description) into your current tax return and mark them as disposed. Going forward, TurboTax will eliminate those assets from your asset list for future years.
However, if some of those old assets are still in use, I would say to just take your best guess as to which listed asset relates to the assets that you have in your possession based on the year placed in service and basis. If you choose to do this, you can include a more detailed description in your list when inputting into TurboTax such as “2008 equipment (Forklift).” Ultimately, since these old assets are all fully depreciated, they shouldn’t affect your tax return in the future unless you sell them (in which case you would have to claim a gain for the sale of the asset).
