Deductions & credits

Yes, you are correct that the land is 28.5% and that out of the $125,000 purchase price, 28.5% of that is allocated towards the land.

 

The $2,150 settlement charges are also prorated in the same way.

 

However, the $10,739 for the improvement is solely added to the home. Your basis for depreciation is 71.5% of the house cost and closing costs plus the amount of the improvement.

 

 

This is what TurboTax is actually doing:

$30,000 Land Value  / $105,100 Total Value = 28.54424%.

 

Your total value is cost, plus closing costs plus addition.
