Depreciation shows $0 for my new rental house
So I have a house that was for all intents and purposes converted into a rental house for the 2021 year. It was previously our second house for the past 13 years. It was supposed to be sold, but we got no great offers so we rented out the house later on in the year. So I put down rental days as 153 days, and I put down around 20 days in January for personal use, since that's when we were there busy renovating the house in December 2020 up thru mid-January 2021. So in December 2020 and January 2021, we made all kinds of improvements - windows, countertops, refrigerators, dishwashers, cooktop, etc. So I put all of these down, along with the house itself, and I chose the option to spread out the deductions over several years. So the depreciation for all these items added up to around $20K on Turbo Tax for 2021, but the Schedule E on Line 18 for this property shows $0. I renovated another rental property and added some new items and those depreciation $$ showed up in Sched E. What gives?
