Under Tell Us More About This Rental Asset I don't see option-I purchased this asset new. Also enters $0 under depreciation & the entire amount under special depreciation

What asset are you entering?

Hi Katherine,
I’m trying to enter an appliance for a rental property - dishwasher. I entered several other assets (flooring, door etc) and the software worked fine. For some reason it doesn’t show all the options now (I purchased this item new) and puts the entire cost under special one time depreciation instead of splitting between two columns - special for this year and second column for the amount that would be depreciated  over additional 4 years. Thank you.

Since you aren't seeing the option that you purchased the asset new, I would suggest that you save and sign out.  Clear your cache and cookies and/or use a different browser.  (I usually try the first - kind of set on my internet browser)  Sign back in and see if you are still having that issue.
I have added a number of assets to my rental property in TurboTax Premier and I am not duplicating that particular problem.

I have signed out and deleted/re-entered the asset several times hoping it would work. I have not tried a different browser though. I will do that next and see if that fixes the problem. Thank you for the suggestion.

Excellent answer by TaxGuyBill below!

Yes, the date being after September 27 made the difference. Now I know it wasn’t the software or browser. Thank you guys for the help in solving my mystery 🙂

If the asset was purchased and "placed in service" after September 27th, 2017, then 100% Special Depreciation is correct, and no future depreciation would be taken (although you do have the option to elect out of that treatment for 2017, and use 50% instead).
