Hello I'm also having a similar problem that appears not to be remedied by the step by step you gave @ mortonssalt2010. I also ended up at the review page of TurboTax online and was prompted to add a percentage in a blank space on Section 179. I put in 50% because the item listed closest to the pop-up screen view was an item that is used half for personal use and half for business purposes. When I entered this, every single expense I listed for my Airbnb was cut in half. If I go back to Schedule E and click on any of this year's rental expenses, it shows the full expense that I initially submitted. How do I tell TurboTax to disregard my Section 179 mistake and accept the expenses I originally listed in Schedule E?
That other user's issue was different and had to do with editing property address. He didn't need to go that far into the interview to get to the expenses and asset depreciation/Sec. 179 section.
Sorry I can't help you with a rental expenses/depreciation/Sec. 179 issue. But I'll see if Champ @Carl can assist you with that Sec. 179 problem you mentioned.
If necessary, we can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support so they can walk you through the navigation to get to the correct screen to correct any Sec. 179 decision.
