Incorrect depreciation calculation

I have put in the following in TT Business

 

Description:   4 store retail center

Purchase date: 01/01/2024

Cost/Basis: $1,750,000

Amount to be depreciated over 39.00 years $1,500,000

 

TT calculates $36,859 as year one depreciation

I get +$1,500,000/39 = $38,461.54

 

Why is TT calculating only $36,859?

you only get 1/2 month depreciation the month it's placed into service

 

1500000/39*11.5/12=36859

 

Turbotax is correct.
