I sold a rental property in 2020. I had a LOT of repairs AND upgrades before selling. Are any of those tax deductable? If so, where does the sale AND deductions go?

This is a lot of information to absorb.  I see your depreciation schedule and it's the best place to get the information you need to prepare for your entry. Let's start with the assets that were disposed of before the sale occurred (if any).

  • @ThomasM125 gave the following information: The assets that were disposed of (before the sale date) you need to report them as being sold for $0 using the date they became worthless.

The assets that were still physically sold with the rental unit. Use the same formula that was provided by @PatriciaV with an adjustment.  By using the original cost of each asset you arrive at a total cost of all assets.  Then divide the cost of each asset by the total.  This will provide a rate to use against the selling price and selling expenses to be used for each asset sold. 

 

Special handling allows you to enter your sale differently. You should select 'No' to special handling on all the assets that were sold. Complete the sale of all the assets.

 

And as indicated by @PatriciaV For those assets that were not sold, be sure to answer "Yes" for Special Handling Required. This assumes those unsold assets were converted to personal use, and results in no gain or loss for the disposition.
