Question

How do I enter Special Depreciation (section 168 K) taken in a prior year on a rental property asset?

There is a field to enter prior years section 179 deduction, but I can't find one for Special Depreciation.  I wasn't using Turbotax in the year the property was acquired, so I need to add the info now.  I want to enter it properly as prior Special Depreciation (rather than just prior regular depreciation) because I'm depreciating the asset regularly for the state return -- NY does not follow Federal rules for Special Depreciation.

What type of asset did you take the special depreciation on and in what year? What was the percentage you took?

Thanks for the reply.  The asset was an appliance for a residential rental property in 2019, and I took the full 100% allowed.  But I think I found my answer - the federal review brought me to a form where I could enter the regular and amt special depreciation amount I had taken.

Ok great, as long as you enter it there, TurboTax should guide you so it's adjusted on the NY state tax return.
