Something's not right here. One of us is missing something. So lets do this.
I know this seems redundant, unnecessary and time consuming. But when dealing in a text based communications medium such as this forum, it's way to easy for either party in this type of communication medium to miss something, and miss it multiple times.One of us is definitely missing something.
Print out the 4562's from both 2021 and 2022. Confirm you print the one that is titled at the top, "Depreciation and Amortization Report". After printing, lay them both side-by-side and use a straight edge of some sort (ruler or whatever) to put on the row of the asset in question here. This is just to ensure your eyes don't shift up or down a row as you look back and forth between the two forms to confirm things.
Let me start by numbering the columns.
1. Asset Description
2. Code
3. Date in Service
4. Cost (net of land)
5. Land
6. Bus use %
7. Section 179
8. Special Depreciation Allowance
9. Depreciable basis
10. Life
11. Method/Convention
12. Prior Depreciation
13. Current Depreciation
Now of all the columns I listed/numbered above, the first eleven columns must match exactly. If they do not, then work through the asset again (on the 2022 return of course) to find your different entry, and make it match.
Don't worry about columns 12 and 13 at this time. We'll deal with those once I'm convinced the first 11 columns match exactly, with no exceptions of any type.
