I entered your numbers and came up with a depreciation amount of $259. 

 

If you take the cost of $1,556 and divide it by three years and then by twelve months you get a monthly depreciation of $43.22. I you multiply this by six months (TurboTax assumes a 1/2 year convention) you get $259.

 

So with the exception of the 1/2 year convention that is debatable, the program seems to be working correctly. 

 

It may be necessary for you to delete the asset entry and re-enter it. Sometimes if you change the figures too many times the routine won't work properly.
