In depreciating a roof for a rental. TT requests to enter the value of land included in the total cost. What is this about?

I looked up the land value and input in the form but TT states the value of the land can't be more than the total cost.

Follow the steps here to correct your entry. When you are entering a roof as a capital improvement, not the building itself, there should be no land value entered into this asset. Go back to remove that entry and if necessary enter a zero. Also be sure you selected Rental Real estate property as the asset category and residential real estate as further description, if applicable. Zero for value of land.
