Deductions & credits

You are not dividing things into categories. You converted the house from personal to rental. Mark the house as a conversion and the date.  I started answering and realized you are just adding totals to get the basis of the house for depreciation. Most of the items will all be added together and added to your purchase price. 

 

You will add the house as an asset. The program will subtract out the land value and depreciate the house for you. You want to take the depreciation since it is part of the sale calculation - whether you take it or not.

 

I marked the ones to not use. You can add the rest together and add it to your purchase price.
