Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Improvements that you make to rental property after you stop renting it, prior to selling it, would be added to Sales Costs.

 

Improvements that you made to the property before you started renting it would be included in the original Cost Basis you used when you started renting it.

 

Improvements you made after you started renting the property would be added as Assets and Depreciated.  You can add those assets now, using their original cost and date placed in service. 

 

Then when you sell you will have an Undepreciated Balance on the property and on the Assets to report in the sale.

 

Here's detailed info on Reporting Sale of Rental Property and Improvements.
