I lived in my house & used home office for 2 yrs, so my "placed in service" date is 1/2017. Then I purchased my home in 9/2018, the date I acquired my asset (my home).

It is forcing me to backdate the date of acquisition of my home (9/28/18) to the date my home office was placed in service (1/1/17). I rented my home for 2 years before buying it.
