I've been playing around with it a little, and only issue I've run into so far is that I was previously depreciating my rental property with a life of 27.5. TaxSlayer didn't like it, so I rounded it up to 28.
I have not used TaxSlayer, but I can't believe it doesn't allow for 27.5 year recovery for residential real estate assets. That has been the required useful life for such assets placed in service after December 31, 1986. I seriously doubt TaxSlayer has been calculating depreciation incorrectly. Their software must pass an IRS validation every year.

For depreciation method it has "MACRS 27.5 YR", but in the "Useful life" field, it does not allow your to put 27.5. It does use 27.5 though, so I guess the useful life field is only needed when selecting a depreciation method that does not have the life included in it.
