Per Turbotax email, there's a problem carrying over depreciation from 2019 on Sch E. Mine are correctly carried over as assets in 2020, but not marked as depreciation

The asset and depreciation amount shows up under the "Your improvements, furnishings and other assets" page, but on the summary page listing income, expenses/assets, the deprectiated amount is not showing up under the Improvements, furnishings, and other assets section.

Thank you for your comment, but it is not addressing the issue.  Those links were provided by TurboTax in the email alerting me of such.  When I investigated, it appears the depreciations are being taken, but not showing up on the summary sheet.  The amount of rent received was decremented by the depreciation, instead of showing the actual amount claimed, and then listing the depreciation with the other costs.  

 

So there appears to be two issues.  In one, which prompted the alert, the depreciations are not being carried over.  In the other, if I understand how the page is to be displayed, and in my case, the depreciation is coming off the rent total, so the final number is correct, but it is not being listed as a depreciation on the summary page.

And...maybe it doesn't matter.
