Software will not allow me to get to the asset depreciation window

I have an asset costing less than 2500 that I want to enter and claim it as a section 179. I go to

Business Income And Expenses

Business Assets

Assets Being Depreciatied - I click on Update

Any large purchases - Yes

Did you buy any items costing less than 2500 in 2024 - Yes

Let's see if you can deduct these..... - Yes and Yes

Now let's review each item you bought "Every item I bought was less than 2500" Check continue..

I loop back to the main page - of Business income and expenses - every time I try

The asset is a computer - so I do not want to enter it as Other Miscellaneous Expenses

My wife's business is also on this return, I was able to successfully enter her asset, but not mine. Note, she did have a 4562 the previous year - I did not - maybe that has something to do with it.

You have to trick it into letting you enter it as an Asset by telling the program that you did not purchase anything less than $2500. Then you can continue to enter the information as an Asset for depreciation and choose the Section 179 deduction.

Thank you so much. I thought I tried everything over my six hour struggle. Much Appreciated.

HELLO Intuit - users should not have to fool the program into working correctly.

Still not fixed as of 10/13/2025. Hello Intuit? I just spent 20 mins trying to get this to work and came here to read this. Don't you fix the software? What are all these updates I get?

2025 tax year

The problem in the program is still there.

I followed the suggestion to "trick" the program and it worked.

thanks for the help.
