Auto Depreciation Limit Not Applied?

For 2024, on Schedule C, if I enter an auto <6k, 100% business use, 1/1/24 acquired/in-service, qualified property, 90k cost basis, $0 Sec 179, then ProSeries shows Special Depr 54k, Depreciation Ded 7.2k.  

Pub 463 & 946 say 1st year depreciation deduction limit should be 20.4k.

What am I missing?

Why does it seem like that limit is not being applied? If the cost basis is 275k, then ProSeries shows Special Depr 165k, Depreciation Ded 22k.

Are you SURE you selected under 6000 pounds?

It has always been automatic when you choose under 6000 pounds and enter the Basis of the vehicle.  I just tested it, and on my test return, it automatically checks the box on line 61 and applies the limits.

Maybe a glitch?

Line 9 "Car and truck expenses" and the "Car and Truck Expenses Worksheet"
