Where do I enter Section 179 carryover disallowed in prior year but able to expense this year? Should be Part I of Form 4562 but can’t find it in TurboTax self employed.

To enter your section 179 carryover from 2018, please follow these steps:

 

  1. Click on Income and Expenses and then click the Start/Revisit box in the Self-Employment section.
  2. On the Your 2019 self-employed work summary screen, click on Edit next to your business. 
  3. On the Here's your [business] info screen, scroll down to the bottom of the screen, to the Uncommon situations section and click the Edit box next to Carryovers, limitations, at risk information, etc.
