Depreciation for rental property - recreating Depreciation schedule
In 2023, I had a rental property with two years of 27.5 yr SL depreciation accumulated, based on the initial cost basis at the time it was put in service. In 2023, I had to make improvements ( new appliances, flooring etc) which required a separate entry and for which TurboTax assigned as a 5 yr, MQ, DB 200 depreciation schedule. TurboTax calculated the latter depreciation at $1362. All of this agrees with my manual calculation using the above method. Unfortunately, my TurboTax file for 2023 was corrupted and for 2024 I have to start from scratch as if I had used some other program, and try rebuilding the history. I can get the initial depreciation schedule input ok, but I cannot figure out how to enter the 2023 improvements information along with it- TurboTax seems to allow either one or the other. but not both. Since they have different in-service dates and depreciation methods, this is a real problem. How do I enter this information to get the correct depreciation for both the improvements and the baseline depreciation?
Thanks
