Depreciation and expenses for a stolen asset in Form 1120

I want to fill out Form 1120 using TurboTax Business. In the section Federal Taxes - Deductions - Depreciation of Assets I fill in a description of assets, the date when they are start to be used in the business and the percentage of business use. As a result, TurboTax calculate 2019 depreciation. But one of the assets starts to be used for business purposes in 2018 and has depreciation for 2018. This asset is used 1 month in 2019 and after that it was stolen, so it is written off. How I should  fill in information for this asset in TurboTax Business and where I can record expenses for writing it off?
