990 Depreciation allocate to program expenses

Is there a way to allocate the depreciation on page 10 line 22 of the 990 between program and management/general? Right now the total is right, but there's nothing in the other columns. If I try to override it tells me I will need to paper file. I assumed it was somewhere in the Depreciation input, but I can't find anything. And yes, it's late on Friday.

    From https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/nonprofit-corporation/common-questions-exempt-organizations-lacerte/L4dqhTiFT_US_en_US?uid=m309l153

    To populate columns B, C, and D, Allocation Percentages are required.

    1. Go into Screen 34, Functional Expenses (990).
    2. In the Allocation Percentages section at the top, enter percentages in decimal format into these fields:
      • Program services (.xxxx)
      • Management and general (.xxxx)
      • Fundraising (.xxxx)

    Lacerte applies the entered percentage against the total expense for each line to calculate each column.

    Use the override fields in the Expenses section when the allocation for an expense differs from the percentages entered above.

     

    SO, put a 1 under Program Services and see what happens.
