Why is Turbo Tax selecting AMT Deprecation and how do I correct it?

Turbo Tax is automatically selecting AMT deprecation for my assets. However, my prior tax accountants were using the 200 DB HY method. How do I correct Turbo Tax to show the same deprecation method I have been using the past 4 years?

AMT depreciation rates may apply if both of these are true:

 

  • You separately depreciate items you used in a residential real estate activity, like:
    • Appliances
    • Carpet
    • Furniture
  • You use the 200% declining balance method.

Most likely the Regular and AMT depreciation amounts are the same.  

 

Here's more info on AMT Depreciation.
