Retirement tax questions
As indicated by @Vanessa_A you can choose to sell it at an amount you choose since it's not a relative. This also means that you will recapture depreciation up to the amount of any gain, which will be low since the selling price is low. All assets listed on your rental property must be sold so you can prorate the selling price and selling expenses with the example below, then follow the steps for each asset in the rental property. You can also decide an appliance for example may have zero selling price.
Example: Original Cost (of each asset on your depreciation schedule)
$10,000 Land = 13.33%
$50,000 House = 66.67%
$15,000 Improvements = 20%
$75,000 Total = 100%
Multiply each percentage times the sales price/sales expenses to arrive at each individual sales price/sales expense.
You need to dispose of the property by telling TurboTax how and when it was disposed of. Follow the instructions below.
