Investors & landlords

Yes, you split the sales proceeds between the land (property) and improvements (the structure)  If you set up the rental property correctly in TurboTax, you will have multiple assets:  The house/structure, the land, and any other assets added, such as appliances, renovations, additions, etc.  I recommend you allocate the sales proceeds based on the remaining cost basis of each asset.  For instance, if you sold the rental property for $200,000 and had the following adjusted basis for each asset:

 

House - $50,000

Land - $25,000

Addition - $15,000

Appliances - $10,000

 

You would apply the proceeds to those assets as follows

 

House - $100,000

Land - $50,000

Additions - $30,000

Appliances - $20,000.

 

As for your comments about the state and federal capital gains, you will need to clarify, and perhaps phrase as a question.  If you have a gain, 100% of that gain is subject to federal tax, either capital gain or depreciation recapture.  Similarly, since the property is in Oregon, 100% of the gain is taxable by the state of Oregon.
