It depends.

  • Furniture bought and sold with the property - the property came with the house and was included in the basis.
  • Furniture bought separately and then sold with the property - Normally, you would depreciate the furniture. 
    • If you did begin depreciation, you will need to dispose of the assets. 
    • If the furniture was purchased the same year as sale, increase your cost basis by that amount.
