State Prior Depreciation - Red, Not Done

First time user.

 

I'm filling out Asset Entry Worksheets and I'm getting stuck on Section 179 Bonus items that have been fully depreciated federally. No matter what I enter for the "State Prior Depreciation" field, it gets a red box and the worksheet says "Not Done". It also doesn't seem to fill into the State (Michigan) return for the "Net bonus depreciation adjustment" field.

 

Any help?

These are the instructions:

This is the error you get if you don't leave it blank:

Obviously the software is contradicting itself.

We have tested Section 179 entries but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file to test this issue further.

 

If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions: 

 

In TurboTax Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose Share or Help.)

  1. Choose Send Tax File to Agent.
  2. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send on this screen and wait for the Token number to appear.
  3. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you.
  4. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important.

We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.
