Why isn't depletion calculating for royalties on Schedule E?

On screen 18, in the oil & gas section, 15% primary oil is selected and depletion is NOT calculating.  No changes were made from 2021.  Now I have to remove the depletion selection and put the expense as an 'other deduction' so if/when it's fixed, it won't duplicate.

What does your depletion schedule say? Are you sure something like the 65% of net income limitation isn't kicking in?

No.  These are very small royalties, under $100.

So what does the depletion schedule say? I'm trying to reproduce your problem - royalty depletion is working just fine for me, including on the return I prepared this morning.

I reinstalled the software and all is working fine now.  I had some other small issues & decided to 'refresh'.  Thank you for the reply!  Happy Tax Time!!
