Deductions & credits

Hi @DianeW777  I have couple of questions on your response on @robertburt1 question :


1- Are the monthly lease payments and the down payment upfront considered in cost basis ? Because those payments are not for financing they are just lease payments 

2-Also in capital gain section in TurboTax  or the forms there is always a question about  the date when the asset was purchased and the date when it was sold and  also whether the asset was purchased , inherited , ... 

Again in the above example ,  the car was never purchased by the lessee , it belonged to the lessor then went straight to Carmax using the lease buy out option in the lease contract 

So how should these dates be filled ?

Thanks!
