@confusedrf I see several problems.
For starters, and this is a biggie, I don't see the property itself listed. This is going to bite you when you sell the property. In the tax year you sell, you are required to recapture all depreciation taken and pay taxes on it. If you did not depreciate the asset (and I don't see depreciation for the property itself) then you are required to recapture the depreciation you "should" have taken, and *still* pay taxes on it.
To fix the above situation is not a simple matter. It requires you to file IRS Form 3115-Change in Accounting Method. While the TurboTax program does include this form, it *is* *not* *simple* by any stretch of the imagination. Therefore, professional help is *highly* recommended.
For the problem we're working here, I was of the understanding that the numbers you were providing were for one single asset. Apparently (and obviously now) that's not the case. YOu were providing me totals. Can't help in any way with just totals. Your problems are in three of the assets you have listed. Fixing those will get the totals correct. So lets move on to fixing the problems with the existing, listed assets.
On your 2022 return you need to work through each asset below and change the "prior year's depreciation" amount. Making the below changes will "make things right". Just work through each asset one at a time, and when you come to the screen that shows you the depreciation already taken, you can edit/change it. Just change it, and click the continue button to move on through to the next asset you need to correct.
Item #4 - Lighting - Prior year depreciation should be $212.
How I got that number.
On the 2021 form add together the amount in the "prior depreciation column" ($203) and the "current depreciation" column ($9) and that gives you the total "prior depreciation" for 2022, which is $212.
Item #5 - Ceiling Tile - Prior year depreciation should be $190
Item #6 - Vertical Blinds - Prior year depreciation should be $375
