I referred to 1040 schedule e line 18, that where the depreciation amount was for the years rented.   Was not sure about that part . I assume the total goes in the part that asks about depreciation info on turbo tax for the sale,  it also asks later on in the same section about depreciation after may 6, 1977.   If I can deduct from just the improvements would sure be better.  It’s making me owe a substantial amount more

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
