Investors & landlords
Enter each asset according to the prior schedule so the depreciation calculations are consistent with prior years.
Land is not depreciated. You can enter this in TurboTax as Land to track the original cost.
The "structure" should be the residence itself and is called Residential Real Estate Property in TurboTax. This asset is depreciated over 27.5 years in total. The remodel and renovation are called Improvements in TurboTax.
It's possible the "Less Exclusion" lines reflect an adjustment for personal use of the asset. You won't know for sure without contacting the prior tax preparer. (Questions about your tax return should be covered, even though you aren't using their services this year.)
Be sure you add both lines in the Ending Accumulated Depreciation column for each asset when entering "prior depreciation" in TurboTax.
The yard door and closet door appear to be fully depreciated. You don't need to enter them into TurboTax unless you want to keep the historical information. These two items would be entered as rental property furnishings.
