Robert,

 

Thank you very much for having replied.   I'm still unclear on one issue though.  

 

On Form 6252, Part I, Turbo Tax carried over the calculated gross-profit percentage from my 2018 return but left blank the following. 

 

1) Selling price - $245,750

2) Mortgages, debts - $119,700

3) Basis of property sold - $206,550

4) Depreciation allowable - $59,261

5) Expenses of sale - $3,110

 

I'm not clear why Turbo Tax asked me to complete these fields but carried over the gross-profit percentage from 2018.  Do you know why this is so? 

 

Also, I couldn't enter anything into the depreciation field and had to override it to put in a value.   Overriding is considered a last resort, and I don't like doing it unless I've exhausted all the other options.  Do you know why a value for the depreciation field can't be entered?

 

Thank you.
