Convert vehicle from business use to personal

I work as a real estate agent.  I have a 2002 SUV, purchased new, that I put into business use (mixed business and personal) in 2011.  In 2019 I stopped using it for business use and went back to just using it for personal.  Turbo Tax  informed me I may have potential 179 carryover.  What is that and where do I input that information?

You will have Section 179 recapture, which will be the difference between the amount of your Section 179 deduction and any used portion of MACRS depreciation.

Note that TurboTax does not support his calculation.
