Help! Stuck trying to fix CA Schedule E Worksheet error

Hi,

I need help with the error below on my CA Schedule E Worksheet - it's related to a fence replacement I did for my WA rental property.

 

When I add in a fence replacement item (which I purchased and put in place on 1/31/2025) into my Federal Tax returns and select the Special Depreciation Allowance (under the One Big Beautiful Bill) to recognize 100% of the costs for 2025, I run into the issue below when Turbo Tax ran the check over my CA State returns.

 

What is wrong with the below and what I should change it to?

 

It should not have an impact on the CA State tax I pay because this rental property is based out of Washington State.

 

However I don't want to leave this error unaddressed when I submit by CA Tax returns.  How do I correct the error in this CA Schedule E Worksheet?

 

Thanks,

Alvin

    If the Schedule E error occurs only in the California state return, any changes you make on the CA worksheet should have no effect on your federal or WA state returns. The message directs you to cancel an override or delete the asset class. You should be able to resolve this by clicking the down-arrow below the message and choosing "no entry."
