Okay. So I assume you have a hard copy of the 2019 tax return.

How are the assets listed/reported on the IRS Form 4562 in the 2019 tax return?

Now let me clarify so you look at the correct form 4562. There are a total of 3 of those forms in the package, and while they have the same form number, they serve different purposes.

First there's the one that prints in portrait format. It's the one that actually gets filed with the return, and only if there's been a change from the previous year. If you don't have this particular one in the package, that would be expected if there was no changes to it in 2019, from the 2018 tax return.

Then there are two more form 4562's and both of them print in landscape format. One is titled "Depreciation and Amortization Report" and the other is "Alternative Minimum Tax Depreciation".

I am referring to the one that prints in landscape format and titled "Depreciation and Amortization Report".
