I sold a property that was rented. Can I now change the cost basis to account for landscaping (depreciation will not impacted as its part of land) done prior to renting?
TurboTax is automatically picking up the cost from the 2023 return. However, the cost does not include the landscaping cost done prior to renting. I never provided the landscaping cost when I started renting the property in 2014 as it does not come into play when calculating the depreciation (as landscaping is considered to be a part of the land). So when I report the sale in 2024, I just want to update the "cost" so that capital gains is correctly calculated. There will be no impact to depreciation because of this. Can I just updated the "cost" and "cost of land" in the TurboTax "Property Assets" section on the 2024 tax return? Thanks.
