How to fix incorrect vehicle deprecation calculated in 1120S?

I purchased a vehicle in 2023 that was placed in service for the business. I took special depreciation allowance of $20,200 in 2023. 

Below are the numbers based on the 2023 1120S.

Purchase price (1/18/2023): $71,275 

Special depreciation allowance in 2023: $20,200

Deprecation basis: $51,075

Life: 5yrs

Method/Convention: 200DD/HY

Projected depreciation for 2024: $16,344

 

When I input the asset information in 2024, the current year depreciation was calculated only $4,562. It was calculated deprecation for 10 years instead of 5 years even though it shows life is 5 years.

 

Can you help me how to fix the amount?

Please clarify if you used TurboTax last year. If so, did you transfer that return to TurboTax this year or did you start over?

How to fix incorrect vehicle deprecation calculated in 1120S?

I used TurboTax last year and transferred it to TurboTax this year. That's why I don't understand it say life is still 5 but depreciation table shows for 10 years.  Is there a way to override it?

Please clarify what information you entered for the vehicle this year. Did you change any of the info that transferred from the prior year return?

How to fix incorrect vehicle deprecation calculated in 1120S?

I have this exact same problem. Is there a resolution? I see the reason why it's happening -- the Asset Life History form shows 12 years for depreciating the vehicle, even though the Asset Entry Worksheet shows 5 year depreciation classification. 

Here is my scenario: 

Vehicle Purchase price (6/1/2023): $68,188

Special depreciation allowance in 2023: $20,200

Deprecation basis: $47,988

Life: 5yrs

Method/Convention: 200DD/HY

TurboTax Calculation for 2024 Depreciation:  $4,364 (incorrect)
TurboTax Asset Life History form: Showing depreciation values for 2023 - 2034 (12 years instead of 5)

 

Here's the background:
-S-Corp filing 1120S
-I used TurboTax in 2023
-I imported the 2023 TurboTax file as the starting point for my 2024 tax return on TurboTax

-I did not edit anything. Before I even enter any data at all, TurboTax calculates the depreciation amount based on 12 years for depreciation (even though it lists correct classification for 5 year depreciation).
