I am looking for help applying form 3115 to form 1040 return. I think I have the correct information and the 3115 is filled out. I am just not sure how to apply it in ProSeries

All you do is change the category to Distributive Trades. And for the "prior depreciation", you enter the adjusted amount (after the adjustment from the 3115), so it reflects what SHOULD have been taken based on five years (and that is what the 3115 is correcting).

The actual adjustment amount gets reported on the Form the original amounts would have been reported on (Sch C, Sch E, Sch F....).

If it's an additional deduction, I put it as an 'other expense' and label it as F 3115 (481a?) adjustment.

If it's an income item (tho I've never had one of those) - same procedure. An income adjustment can be spread over several ( 4 - ?) years, I believe.

Thank you so much for responding. I understand about putting the additional deduction on the Sch E as an other expense; but how do I change the asset entry worksheet to reflect the change the recovery period?

Just enter the correct method, and be sure to adjust the accumulated too (I'm assuming that's the error being dealt with).

Someone who uses PS will have to give the specific 'how'.

It would have been helpful if your original post had asked specifically what you needed help on rather than making us guess.
