Investors & landlords

The original question / post indicated a cost basis of $117,256 which when multiplied by the IRS table rate provided the $4,263 figure in my reply.

The facts now, indicate a cost basis of $351,804 with varying business use rates; 66%, 44% and 33.33%.  None of this was mentioned in the initial post.

Using the 33.33% does arrive at the $117,256, but nothing in the original post mentioned varying business use until after my original reply.

While the $4,263 may be correct for the 33.33%, the additional facts of varying business use completely changes how someone will respond and the fact that this impacts how TT calculations will be handled....won't be handled automatically.

The issue here is when other parties come to look at the question and answers, the flow doesn't make sense.  The original post should never change; or add "Edit" to the original post.  Or alternatively, edits can be made in subsequent replies, and then that will help those that use the questions and answers for their issue as the flow now makes sense.
