Deductions & credits

TurboTax should not reduce the basis based on the days in service. Did you take a residential energy credit for your condo? 

 

The following entries can reduce your basis in a property. but that seems like the most likely culprit since we know you haven't taken any depreciation prior to this year:

  • Section 179 deduction.

  • Nontaxable corporate distributions.

  • Deductions previously allowed (or allowable) for amortization, depreciation, and depletion.

  • Exclusion of subsidies for energy conservation measures.

  • Certain vehicle credits.

  • Residential energy credits.

  • Postponed gain from sale of home.

  • Investment credit (part or all) taken.

  • Casualty and theft losses and insurance reimbursement.

  • Certain canceled debt excluded from income.

  • Rebates treated as adjustments to the sales price.

  • Easements.

  • Gas-guzzler tax.

  • Adoption tax benefits.

  • Credit for employer-provided child care.

  • Partial disposition of MACRS property, whether you elect to recognize the partial disposition or are required to recognize it.
