Thank you.  It definitely wasn't calculating in the questionnaire the right way.  I'm not really sure how that happened as I believe I answered the questions correctly.  I deleted the vehicle from the prior year flow into the current year return and re-entered everything again and it seems to have worked.

 

I now have the "Enterable Form 4797" populated and I have manually dropped line 35 onto my schedule C as other income with a description of Sec 179 recapture.

 

What is interesting is that line 33 has what I took as a deduction in '24, and line 34 for recomputed depreciation is asking for straight line (half year convention) for both '24 and '25.  It then calculates the recapture versus what I would have taken straight line for 2 years.  Although the software is changing depreciation to S/L-HY on form 4562, it is still allowing a depreciation deduction for 2025.  As I do the math, that has already been calculated in coming up with the recapture and I need to change that to zero so I'm not double dipping, correct?
