Question on sale of rental property with 50% ownership

Hello!  I own 50% of a rental property that was sold in 2023.  For inputting expenses, I show 50% ownership of the property.  Does this ownership percentage not transfer over when inputting the sale information for the asset?  I only have 1 asset for the property.  It automatically calculates basis and depreciation; is this for the entire property or just my 50%?  Do I need to enter property sale amount and sale expenses as 50%?  I know for ordinary rent and other expenses Turbotax will calculate these based on my ownership expenses, so I put in the full amounts.  My tax liability changed singnificantly when I just reduced the sales price to half so wondering if I also need to adjust basis and depreciation.  Appreciate any help you can provide!

Enter only your portion of the sales proceeds, selling expenses, cost basis and depreciation. TurboTax does not apply your ownership percentages when entering sales information.

Thank you!  Is the depreciation over the years figured on only my half of the dwelling as well or do I need to manually calculate?

Depreciation is based on the original cost of the property. For this reason, enter only your portion of the purchase cost for depreciation.
