Question

Section 179 Carryover...confusion!

This section always stumps me. I have a vacation condo that I rent out sometimes. I don't understand why TurboTax doesn't transfer last year's Section 179 Carryover (see attached screen). I get so confused trying to find the correct numbers on last year's tax forms. (Do I find the numbers on Form 4562 or the worksheet, for instance?) Can sometime explain to me exactly where I can find the answers to these two questions: 
--Section 179 Carryover

--QBI Section 179 Carryover

 

Thank you!!

    If you used TurboTax last year, find the Schedule E Worksheet for this property. Under the section "Carryovers to 2025 Smart Worksheet," Section 179 carryovers for both regular tax and AMT appear on Line A.

    Hi Patricia:

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Unfortunately, when I pull up 2024 Schedule E worksheet, Line A is a box that says, "owned by spouse." Is there another form that can give me the answers I need?

    Thank you.
