<P>I sold my rental property. How/where can I get allocation info for sales and expenses between asset and land that TurboTax is asking for? I checked my settlement statement of the sale and it doesn't allocate between the land and the asset itself. Do I need to go back to the realtor or the title company to get that information, do you think they would have it? Or check with the county deed or tax office?<BR /></P>

The allocation is strictly for the purposes of the program; you will not see a different tax result.

Capital gain is capital gain, whether it is gain from the land or the structure. The only variable in this equation is depreciation and, obviously, only the structure is subject to deductions for depreciation (and subsequent recapture on a sale).
