How do I adjust length of time for depreciation for rental property placed back in service? Or does period reset to 27.5?

Bought a home as a residence in 2018, rented it out 2019-2021, moved back in late 2021 - late 2022, and converted back to rental in late 2022 (our life has been crazy lol). I have to create a new row in the asset depreciation. When doing so,  I understood my new cost basis will be prior cost basis - prior depreciation. However, it does not ask me for the period of the new depreciation line item. So effectively I am not depreciating for the cost basis - ~ 3 years of depreciation but the time period is 27.5 years instead of 24.5.

Yes, when you bring an asset back into service after personal use, the depreciation period is reset. In other words, the IRS believes it now has the full, original useful life.
