It appears that when you are preparing federal tax there is no way to do this, so you will have to record the asset and when it asks how much depreciations you have taken in the past to put in the whole asset's cost. Then when you move onto state return, there is an option to input difference in state vs federal tax amount, but this does give you option to input asset info one by one, so you basically need to calculate on your own what the difference in depreciation amount is and input it.
Essentially you would need to research on your own how the asset should be depreciated if no special depreciation was not taken and calculate how much depreciation you can take on state returns, not optimal for people who have minimal tax knowledge and relying on the software to do this for you.
