You can file Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method.  This will allow you to make a retroactive change to your depreciation expense on your 2019 tax return due to the incorrect cost basis.  Otherwise, you will be paying depreciation recapture tax on the depreciation you were entitled to take, which will be greater than actual depreciation claimed.  Form 3115 is not available in TurboTax.
