Issue with form 3115 error

RK-S · ‎February 17, 2026

I didn't know I was supposed to be claiming depreciation for my home I am renting out while being stationed out of state. I am trying to make. DCN 7 adjustment with Form 3115 to cover the period prior to the 2025 tax year, but it keeps giving me an error for checking "no" on item 6a regarding having a return under examination. I do not have any returns being examined by the IRS, so why is it trying to force me to answer "yes" on this?

What should I do if I didn't take depreciation on my rental property?

It is for half of 2023 and all of 2024, so I have to use form 3115. However, I tried starting from scratch, with no information whatsoever entered on a tax return, and the form already will only allow you to answer "yes" to 6a on part II. It is currently impossible for me to accurately fill out IRS form 3115 because of this.
