Thank you it is showing correct now. How would I do that for a Vehicle? It wont allow me to select qualified property without overriding it?


Is the business percentage this year 50% or less?  That is why it automatically does that.

It seems like this is the first year the business percentage dropped to 50% or less.  That means you need to recapture depreciation, but I don't think the program does that automatically. 

You would need to calculate the depreciation as if Straight-Line was used the entire time (with the Special Depreciation Allowance) and manually fill in the bottom of the "Enterable 4797" about the recapture.  You then need to manually enter that recapture amount as income on the appropriate spot (Schedule C if that is what this vehicle is being used for).

Then for the depreciation, you just enter the recalculated amount of "prior depreciation" (using Straight-Line and no Special Depreciation Allowance).

I know it is complicated, but does that make any sense?
