Did you change the "placed in service" date for the carpet to sometime in 2018?  That would explain it.  Or just delete the carpet asset and enter it again.

 

As I said before, it looks like the accountant used the Mid-Quarter convention for the carpet, which based on the information you provided would be wrong.  Ask the accountant about it.

 

When was the actual "placed in service" date?  In other words, what date was it available and ready to be rented?

 

For the building, are saying the accountant used $53,241 and TurboTax used $53,239?  So only two dollars difference?  If so, that is probably because TurboTax uses the mathematical method of calculating depreciation, and the accountant may have used the "tables".  That sometimes will have slightly different results.  When you do next year's return, just enter the proper amount of "prior depreciation" that was taken.
