If I only rented out my rental for 2 months and had it advertised for rent for 5 months, do I get a full year of depreciation on my rental property?

Turbo Tax is giving me a full year of depreciation on my rental property which was rented out for 2 months (62 days) and advertised as for rent for 5 months (121 days).  I only entered the Schedule E expenses for the months the single family home was advertised or rented (7 months or 183 days).  Example, I used 183/365 x property taxes to get my number.   

Turbo Tax is using a full year of depreciation for the rental house, stove, refrigerator, etc. just like last year.  Do I still get a full year of depreciation even though the home was empty and not advertised?
