Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In TurboTax Desktop Premier version, follow these steps to delete a rental asset.

 

  • Go to Federal Taxes / Wages & Income / I'll choose what I work on / Rental properties and Royalties.
  • Select Update to the right.
  • Continue through several screens.
  • At the screen Rental and Royalty Summary, click Edit for the rental activity.
  • At the screen Review your rental summary, click Update to the right of Sale of Property / Depreciation.
  • At the screen Do you want to go directly to your asset summary?, select Yes.
  • At the screen Your Property Assets, select Delete to the right of the asset to be deleted.

You may find that the sale of the rental property generates a recapture of depreciation on IRS Form 4797 Part III line 22 that accounts for the gain that you are seeing.
