I have questions about the depreciation using TurboTax Premier.
After moving in August, I just rented out our primary house (128 days renting in 2023, before that we lived in the house).
About the depreciation, I have several questions:
1. How to answer this question shown in TurboTax?
Any prior depreciation? Enter the amount of depreciation you were allowed to take on this property.
Depreciation taken before May 7, 1997, ( )
Depreciation taken after May 7, 1997, ( )
2. I typed in the information (cost buying the house, the value of house now), but it shows $0 depreciation for the next 27 years. I think there should be something wrong.
3. The value of house, which one I should use, the value for property tax, the value from home insurance, or estimated value from Zillow?
Thanks!

did you enter the date in 2023 it was placed into service?
but here's the catch under IRC 280A for personal residence turned into rental
1) was personal use greater than 10% of rental days 10% of rental days would be about 13 while you used it for more than 200 days so the answer is yes
2) was the property rented for less than 15 days - the answer is no
Therefore, it is treated as a dwelling unit used as a home. Expenses are prorated between rental and personal use. The rental portion of interest and taxes are not limited to rental income, other expenses including depreciation are limited to any remaining gross income from the property. If these produce a loss, they are not currently allowed but become a carryover.
