Commercial rental is eligible for § 179 Depreciation. They installed a new fire alarm in 2025. This a 39 year asset that is eligible for 179(f). However, when entering as a 39 year property, I receive a diagnostic stating that this is an invalid method for 179. I am in CA where we do not conform to 179(f).

How would I override to get the 179 on this eligible asset?

Lacerte doesn’t have this option programmed in. They need to add a check box for 39 year property eligible for Section 179(f) deduction. Since it is not an eFile diagnostic, I am ignoring it per my discussion with a Lacerte support rep. Thank you.
