I purchased a rental property in 2021 and demolished it the same year but I still own the land which was about half the value of the property. I'm using TurboTax for Business and am not sure how to correctly capture this transaction. I went to "dispose of rental property", then "dispose of it by some other means". Turbotax seems to have deducted the house value of the property but when I look at the 8825 worksheet I'm not sure it looks correct. I've entered 0 as the asset sale price and 0 as the land sale price. Also, on the tax return it looks like the full purchase price has been accounted for on line 2 for net real estate gain/loss. I'm not sure if I should be adding the land value as a separate asset to account for this? Thanks for any help you can provide!

the purchase price of the property less any depreciation allowed or allowable plus the cost of demolition becomes the tax basis of the vacant land.
this is something you'll have to do manually because there was no disposition for tax purposes of the building.
Thanks for responding!
