I noticed the depreciation amount is less than (Cost base - cost of land)/27.5. Why?

MM = the property is placed in service at the midpoint of the month; 1/2 month of depreciation is allowed for the month of January.

You have to use straight line and mid-month for residential rental property.

Thanks! I am curious. TurboTax does not give me a choice to select mid-month or first-month conversion, and I did enter this property is converted from primary residence to rental on 1/1/2018. Wondering why it just chose MM conversion for me
