My issue is that I enter all the information asked for each asset in step-by-step, but doing so leaves me with an error on each asset such that I have to open Forms for each. Although the requested info in step-by-step is acquisition date, TurboTax uses that information to populate the "placed in service" field. This causes an error and when I open Forms, the acquisition date field is blank.
I can clear that error by either populating the acquisition date field (with the same date as TurboTax mistakenly put in "placed in service field), or by checking the "yes" box in "was this property acquired after 09/27/2017". It appears to me that TurboTax had done that (checked "yes") last year because I didn't have these errors last year, and last year's assets have he "yes" box checked.
If TurboTax had simply populated the acquisition date field rather than the placed in service field (or both), or automatically checked "yes", I wouldn't have an error. That error means that, for each asset (and I have over 300 new assets this year), I have to enter all the information in step-by-step, then open Forms to correct the error.
So, while there hasn't been a change in the tax law, my question is really... has there been a change in TurboTax?
