Investors & landlords

WHen you originally entered the property into TurboTax the very first time 5 or so years ago, you were asked for COST and COST OF LAND.

COST - What you paid for the property in full, when you acquired it.

COST OF LAND - That portion of COST that you allocated to the land. According to you, that would be 25% of the amount you entered in the COST box.

The program (not you) would do the math allocating 75% of your total cost to the structure, and that value is what gets depreciated over 27.5 years.

Is this *NOT* how you did this?
