No impact- it sounds like you are looking at your balance due or refund rather than the depreciation Form 4562. If you have reached the passive activity limitation or if your income is too high, you won't see an impact. I am assuming this is a rental property you own and is a passive activity. Please take a look at:  your income - income up to $100,000 -active participants can claim $25,000 rental loss. As your income increases, the allowed deduction decreases. At $150,000, zero deductions are allowed. MFS has different rules depending on whether you lived together  or apart all year/ Form 4562 to see the depreciation is entered correctly.  Look at Sch E to see the depreciation on line 18 Look at Form 8582 for limitation.

You will have to amend the 2025 tax return for the changes made on the W-2C.   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

You can no longer do a 2020 return in TurboTax. Any refund is forfeited because you are filing too late. If you owe, you'll either have to do it manually or see if there's a website that does older returns. Use those at your own risk  https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/prior-year 

The IRS has issued a correction to the 2025 Instructions.    We have corrected the calculation for joint occupants of a home who are claiming the energy efficient home improvement credit in Part II of the 2025 Form 5669. Please refer to the instructions below with respect to the joint occupancy section on page 3 of the 2025 Instructions for Form 5695. If you downloaded or printed the 2025 Instructions for Form 5695 prior to Jan. 26, 2026, please note the correction. Although, the IRS is saying March 6, if this is the date that they will have the forms corrected, TurboTax software will take a little bit to then make the changes.  You can attempt to refile on the 6th or wait for several days after that.  At this point I do not see anything stating a date as it does depend on the IRS actually getting their instructions and forms fixed before anything else can be done.

This doesn't answer his question.  And I have the same question too.  I'm guessing that "legally separated" is equivalent to "divorced" on federal forms, even though they are distinctly different in some places, like Virginia for instance?
