Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@socalpatrick5  what I understand  from your post is 

 

(a) you bought a rental property for  585,000 plus closing costs "C"

(b) you did not have current allocation for land vs. improvement and so used  a land value of 97,000

(c) Thus your depreciation for  the tax year 2023 and follow on year may need to be adjusted.

(d) Note that your  total basis in the property has not changed  -- it is still   585,000 + C

(d) From the figures you quote of Country assessor's  valuation ( which is usually lower than  FMV),  the land value is approx. 30% of the total.

I think , in  the long run you will be better served  ( for Gain and recapture purposes ) to amend your  2023 return to adjust the  land value. This would reduce your depreciation for the year. Then use that amended return as basis for your 2024  return.  This now will fix  your depreciation  schedule here onwards.

That is my opinion --
