I own a rental property, in past years we purchased many items like furniture and improvements, and we also had closing costs. My accountant entered depreciation for all this, and I have a depreciation & amortization report from her that lists each item separately.

Now I am trying to do my own taxes, but I don't see how I can enter all these individual items as she did, all I see in TT a single box that says "amount of depreciation taken in prior years." How can I copy over all the specific items from my accountant's tax return?
