How do I enter a cost segregation analysis to my return that overrides standard depreciation on rental real estate?

I had a cost segregation study done on a rental property. TurboTax online only appears to allow me to take the standard depreciation instead of inputting the data from the study. Am I missing something?

For type of asset, select the option for "Intangibles/Other" and go from there. This is only advised if you know what you're doing, and incorrectly entering the assets this way has a fair chance of triggering an audit, depending on the assets and costs involved.

Even so, if this is residential rental property the actual structure itself is still depreciated over 27.5 years. So you'll still be entering that the "normal" way.

If you did a cost segregation study then you will enter all of the assets individually because that is why you did the study was it not?
