What are the odds that a manipulation like this will trigger interest in the return at the IRS? Their computer may be smart enough to compare the prior depreciation on this return to last year's accumulated depreciation. Any thoughts?


 

The IRS does not get that information at all.  They just see the actual amount of depreciation that you claim.  It is common for that amount to vary, so it should not "trigger" anything.
