I own 50% of a rental property and each of my two children own 25% each.      The proper depreciation in round numbers is a total of $20,000 per year.    I get $10,000 and each of my children get $5,000.00       Turbo tax is allocating the full amount of $20,000 to each of my children, along with $20,000. to myself.     The other expenses were allocated correctly.                

 

I tried to override it but Turbo Tax will not allow me to e file with the override.

 

Is there something I did incorrectly?

    for the asset you enter 50% of cost for your return and 25% on each child's return. do not use 50%/25%/255 business use of the full cost. this will create problems should the property be sold. 

     

    either that or file a partnership return.
