Deductions & credits

@paulreese18 , as I get from your detailed post --- you bought / converted a residential property into  residential income property  ( in Canada ) in 2011.    Your basis in the property  was and continues to be  Acquisition  cost in US$ of 2011.  Your depreciation basis   at the time was  Acquisition Cost LESS  Land Cost.  This is again  in US$ of 2011.   From then  your basis and acquisition basis   and Depreciation basis remains the same in US$.  You cannot  adjust  these figures ONLY in case  you make improvements ( increases the  basis  and the depreciation basis -- additional depreciation).     Your Schedule-E  recognitions for the year  i.e  gross rent, expenses, taxes etc etc.  are based on either US$ of the day or average US$ for the year/quarter/month etc -- but  you must use the same modality all the time.

 

Does this make sense ?
