When I'm in turbo tax as well, and inputting the information, it gives you the option of changing the figure that the program inputs as your expected depreciation. I WAS going to just put in there the amount that I actually depreciated, but I thought better and said, wait, maybe in need to check on this before I do that. I do find it interesting that the tax software MIGHT allow you to do something like that if it wasn't an ok thing to do. WHY make it an option in the software? Is the IRS expecting you to put the full allowable depreciation in your return regardless if the actual depreciation (lower in my case) is clearly recorded in past returns? CONFUSING.
