Let's start with easy question first. For renovations, You can use an estimate if you cannot find any info. at all. Do you have kind of documents? How was it paid? Bank or credit card or may be home equity loan? May be you know/remember the contractor who did the work and they can provide the info.
As for the deprecation, do you remember the cost basis you entered to calculate the deprecation? How many years the property was rented? I am assuming you have a purchase price of the home. Generally depreciation is calculated based on the lower of purchase price or FMV (Fair Market Value) of the property when placed in service. If the price of the property increased when you started renting, you can use purchase price and calculate depreciation for those years. I am not saying that it will match with what you claimed but it will at least help you.
IRS online transcript only goes back 3 years and up to 10 years if request by mail and request to get a copy of tax return only covers 7 years so contacting IRS is not available.
