TurboTax Handling of Leasehold Improvement Depreciation when Lease Terminated Early

I have terminated a lease which still had years of depreciation remaining (say $13,000.).  In TurboTax, I entered that I stopped using the asset 9/1/2019.  Does TurboTax automatically handle the remaining $13K as an expense or do I need to enter this amount elsewhere in TurboTax as a current year business expense?  When I look at the Depreciation Worksheet, it seems like only $462 (a partial year) is showing up as depreciation in 2019, yet I expected the entire $13K to show up.   Note - I use Cash Basis accounting method.  Also - it is possible that the depreciation amount is getting limited in 2019 due to having a net loss if 100% of depreciation of new assets were included.
