How do I view the detail behind rent property depreciation on my return?

[lainla5000]

Schedule E has a line item of depreciation, I am trying to find the detail behind that number in a prior year return 2022 that was filed last year.  Form 4562 was not a part of the documents that turbo tax provide with my return last year and I need to see how it was calculated.

Form 4562 should have been included, did you enter the rental (land and building)? 

Did you purchase any items (assets) for the rental?

Form 4562 was included in my 2021 return through turbo tax but not with my 2022 return.  There was a line in my 2022 return that had depreciation and I am trying to find the detail behind it.  I don't believe I added anything that year or anything changed.

Items are carefully listed on the 4562 when it is placed in service. Then it just gets lumped together into line 17 after that. You should have a form 4562 each year that any items are being depreciated. You may have worksheets as well. When you view your return, mark that you want to see all the worksheets, not just the forms.

For information from when the item was placed in service, you generally need to look at the Form 4562 for that year. Remember, you must save all tax returns from purchase until sold plus 3 years minimum.

Thank you for the response.  The issue now is I do not have the option to download all worksheets.  Does this have something to do with me using the online version of the software?  Do I have to download the software to my PC?  Can I do that now to access last year's tax return?  I have downloaded my return several times and it only provides the return without the worksheets.

A Form 4562 Depreciation and Amortization Report details the depreciation for Schedule E.

In the Online versions, you may view or print at Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return / Include government and TurboTax worksheets after you have paid for the software.

Hello - Thank you for the reply.  That is what I am looking for but do not have access to form 4562.  When I log into turbo tax, I can see "your tax returns and documents" and then see 2022 and I can download/print return(pdf).  There is no option to print any worksheets.  I also do not have the option to go to tax tools/print center as you recommended.  I paid for last year's return and am using the online version.  Do I have to pay for this year in order to access last year's detailed information?  I only want to access last year's return with form 4562.
