Needing help understanding what to input on sale of a rental property.
1) Can I list expenses on improvements that I had not claimed in the past? e.g. new siding 2 years ago
2) Where do I include closing costs from when I purchased the property? (I see where to enter for the sale closing costs(
3) When listing the asset sale price and land value, are the 2 numbers to equal the amount on the 1099-S? or is the asset and land value number to exceed the 1099-s amount?
Thank you!

The sale information is shown below with your questions. Keep in mind the 1099-S is not a direct form entry.
Use the original cost of each asset listed on depreciation, add those together then divide each one by the combined total to find the percentage of the cost for each asset. Use that percentage times the sales price and sales expenses to find the selling price/sales expenses for each asset. (Choices would also be fair market value on the date of the sale or adjusted basis on the date of the sale, which is cost less depreciation.)
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.
I hope this example provides clarification to enter your sale.
You need to dispose of the property by telling TurboTax how and when it was disposed of. Follow the instructions below.
