The basis for depreciation should be the same in both Schedule C and Schedule E with regard to the house.  The difference will be the dates placed in service and the percentage of business use.  

 

During the time that the house was rented, the percentage of business use will be 100% (unless the tenants did not have access to your home office space).  

 

For your home office, the percentage of business use will be based on the square feet of your office versus the whole house, prorated by the number of months of use during 2021.

 

Pay close attention as you enter the depreciation in each section.  In general, TurboTax may not do the math for you for your special situation.
