@chammer8o , here is what I did ( I have CD-Windows version of Home & Business ) ---in the business section under income selected that I have rental income --- then followed the screens to declare that this residential rental property, address etc. FOREIGN i.e. not on US or its possessions , then on to declare the renal income, the expenses and to depreciation -- asset worksheet -- acquired on 12/31/2012, start of rental on 01/01/2018, zero land value, acquisition cost $300,000 etc. etc. --- TurboTax automatically chose MACRS -MM ( mid-month convention ), ALT method -- life 30 years --- result depreciation / asset life history is correct -- accumulated ( for 2018 ) $9583 and for 2019 $10,000. So it works as it should
Now we need to find out about why you are not seeing the same result -- I do not know about the on-line version but should operate the same
Try deleting all the rental data and start afresh and see what it does --- note that you will need to declare the address as foreign ( by selecting the box and then foreign address entry form will show up and also that you started the business on 01/01/2018 ---- your prepare should have used 30 years last year or 40 years life not 27.5
