Investors & landlords
(in the misc investment expenses in Federal tax section)
Depreciation is not in the expenses section of the program. Depreciation is reported on line 18 of the SCH E while other expenses get reported on other lines of the SCH E. None of the lines on the SCH E have anything to do with prior year's depreciation.
So for 2020, either your in service date is changed and wrong (most likely) or you had varying business use percentage over the years. If asked for things like "days personal use" and/or "days rented" I expect the property to have been rented the entire year, every year with no personal use days.
One thing you can do since you have the 4562 from 2019, is to delete the asset from 2020 and re-enter it using the data from the 2019 form 4562. Remember, for 2020 the prior year's depreciation is figured by adding together amounts in "prior years depr" and "current year depr" column.
