LLC Elected as S-Corp - How to Handle Depreciating Assets

Hello, I had a single member LLC which I elected to be treated as a S Corp by filing Form 2553.  I am trying to fill out my business information in TurboTax Business and have arrived at the Business Asset Summary section.  I had Asset A, which I purchased in 2019 for $424, and in the years up to 2022, they depreciated $249.

 

When I enter in the assets into the business asset summary, should I be entering in the 2019 date as the date it was placed into service, and specify the amount of previous depreciation?  If so, how do I compute AMT depreciation?  Or is it considered an asset that was placed into service on 01/01/2022 with a value of $175?

 

Also, since I am electing to be treated as a S Corp (starting 01/01/2022), do I need to do anything on my personal return (e.g. indicate that I closed my LLC business)?

The corporation’s basis in the contributed assets is equal to the contributing shareholder’s basis in the property before the transfer, increased by any gain recognized by the shareholder.

So just to clarify, I would then consider it an asset that was placed into service on 01/01/2022 (the first day that the LLC was treated as a S-Corp) with a value of $175?

The date it was actually placed into service.

Okay, so then I will put in the 2019 date?  And then for the following entries, does this look correct:

 

Placed into service: 12/2/2019

Enter the amount you paid for this asset: $424

Depreciation - all prior years: $249

Whatever date the assets were placed into service, yes.
