Line 7. Your rental sale will show on Form 4797 and on Sch D.

When you dispose of the rental house in the rental part of the program, it will move your information.

You are selling the house, land and any other assets that were listed. Improvements and everything but the house and land, need to be sold for zero -since they went with the house. For example, a new roof of $10,000 that was only depreciated $1,000 leaves a $9,000 loss.

 

To go through the rental section:

  1. Start by saying you rented it for a day or more
  2. In the asset section, mark that you sold the item and the date sold
  3. Special handling- select No
  4. Main home, select No
  5. Enter sales information- you have to break out the land from the house. You can use property tax valuation or another method to determine your reasonable answer.
  6. Continue, no,
  7. prior AMT depreciation - will be the same as the regular depreciation unless you are high income and have form 6251 in previous returns. If so, check them.
  8. continue, no to installment
