Depreciation calculation

I have a new client that has a van used for a schedule C business.  The van was acquired in 2021.  I have the depreciation schedules from the prior preparer so I can see that they took the correct deduction in 2021.  I can't quite recalculate the depreciation for 2022.  It is above my calculation. 

The clients business use dropped below 100% but is still about 50%.  ProSeries Basic is not calculating any depreciation deduction for this year.  I recalculated it and determined that there should be a deduction this year.  What am I missing?

Double-check your input of the date and prior depreciation.  Excessive prior depreciation may cap the current depreciation.

I suspect to match your manual calculations that you would need to scroll WAY down on the vehicle worksheet and check the box to use the IRS depreciation "tables".
