The form and IRS won’t allow me to use the correct 50% basis while then claiming the actual depreciation I took. That would require taking more depreciation than what the cost basis is which of course isn’t possible. You can’t depreciate more than you say you bought the property for.
So either I can put in all of the correct numbers - NOT matching past returns - which may require I amend recent years so they match, or continue to put in all incorrect numbers which matches past returns. This is the crux of my question.
