section 179 depreciation carried over by TurbiTax

[BZig]

Is the unused section 179 deduction amount automatically carried over by TT?

If not, how can I determine what was used last year, or several years ago?

[DavidS127 · Accepted solution]

Yes, if you use TurboTax in a year you had a Section 179 deduction, TurboTax will carry any unused amount to the next year's TurboTax return when the prior year tax file is used to start the current year tax return.  TurboTax Download/CD customers must have access to the prior year tax file on the computer they are using, and TurboTax Online users must use the same account used in the prior year.
