I am using online turbo tax, and when fixing the error it found, it won't accept my de-selecting "special depreciation allowance" in Schedule E for my rental prop (asset)

First year with this error despite depreciating the rental property since 2008. This year it has selected 50/100 Special Depreciation Allowance for my rental property as an Asset, and won't let me de-select it.

There have been some issues with the rental property section of TurboTax this year.  The fix should be arriving with the software update this Thursday.  Please check back on Friday to make sure that the system has had time to update.

I tried again this morning (2/28/26) to deselect the 50/100 Special Depreciation Allowance box on Schedule E, and the issue has not gone away.  It still won't hold the selection and keeps asking me to fix the error repeatedly.  This one item is preventing me from filing my taxes electronically, and I have spent more hours trying to resolve this one issue than I did preparing my entire tax return.  This is quite frustrating.

Following up here again to see what the next steps are to get this issue resolved so that I can e-file my return.  I even deleted an asset from Schedule C that was new and had special depreciation in 2025, and re-entered the asset in Schedule C without any special depreciation, but that did not fix the problem in Schedule E with special depreciation selection at 100/50% for the rental Residence.  There is no special depreciation taken anywhere in the 2025 return.

We would like to research this experience further. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, please follow these instructions: 

In TurboTax Online, open your return, go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools. 

1. Then select Tools below Tax Tools.
2. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.
3. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent.
4. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
5. You may wish to snap a screenshot to post instead of the actual number.
6. Reply to this thread with your Token number (including the dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you.
7. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important.

If you are using TurboTax for Desktop, go to Online in the top menu, then choose "Send Tax File to Agent."

We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.
