Form 3115 - Catchup Depreciation amount not linked to Schedule E

Hello,

My client placed a rental property in service in Nov 2015 and sold it in Mar 2020.  No depreciation was claimed.  I completed form 3115 to catch up on depreciation for 2015 - 2019 and ProSeries is automatically calculating the 2020 depreciation up to the sale in Mar 2020.  However, the catchup depreciation from Form 3115 is not flowing through to schedule E "Other".  

Is there a manual step I need to complete to link the 3115 adjustment amount to schedule E?

Yes, you have to enter it as an "other expense".  Like Susan, I use "481(a) adjustment as the description.

You have to enter it as a 481(a) adjustment  (expense) on Schedule E.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thank-you for your response. So I manually enter the adjustment amount on schedule E under other expenses?
