I assume you're working on her personal 1040 tax return. If that assumption is wrong, stop reading now so you don't waste your time.

On her personal tax return all you're doing is converting the property to personal use. There is "no" depreciation recapture.  Now I'm curious as you why you're even being asked to confirm "anything" concerning depreciation. Was her 2019 tax return "not" done with TurboTax? If it was, did you "not" import the data from her .tax2019 file maybe?

If no to the above, then you've incorrectly entered information on the 2020 return concerning the rental property. To check yourself,  you'll need to have a copy of 3 forms from her 2019 tax return. The documents you need are:

Two IRS Form 4562's for that specific property. They both print in landscape format. One is titled "Depreciation and Amortization Report" and the other is "Alternative Minimum Tax Depreciation".

The third document you need from the 2019 tax return is the IRS Form 8582 which shows the passive carry over losses. Now due to changes in the tax laws in 2018 it's perfectly possible there will not be any carry over losses - thus the form 8582 will not be present in the 2019 tax return package.
