Partnership (new) with Sec 179 carryover to 2023

New partnership with section 179 carryover to 2023.  It is not adjusting "income per books".  Do I manually override "depreciation per books not on return" on M-1?  Also, do I manually override M-2 so that partnership capital is reduced?

Ugh, there's no good answer there. I think for people who don't keep formal partnership books, I make an entry in my tax workpapers that's a contra-account to accumulated depreciation, called "Sec 179 carryforward." It's easier than poking Lacerte.

Also, have you considered bonus depreciation?

Yes, but they want to go the 179 route for other reasons.

LOL "poking Lacerte" 

I agree with Phoebe, Lacerte doesn't handle this situation well (or, at all).  You have to make it work.
