Hopefully, you saved the forms and worksheets as a PDF. If so, then you will find the figures you need on the Depreciation and Amortization Report and the Asset Entry Worksheet.

If the last tenant to move out of the property prior to the sale was a renter, and you have been using TTX the whole time, then the program will take care of depreciation recapture for you, if you report the sale in the Rental & Royalty Income (SCH E) section of the program.

Reporting the Sale of Rental Property

If you qualify for the "lived in 2 of last 5 years" capital gains exclusion, then when prompted you WILL indicate that this sale DOES INCLUDE the sale of your main home. For AD MIL personnel who don't qualify because of PCS orders, select this option anyway, because you "MIGHT" qualify for at last a partial exclusion.

Start working through Rental & Royalty Income (SCH E) "AS IF" you did not sell the property. One of the screens near the start will ahve a selection on it for "I sold or otherwise disposed of this property in  2017". Select it. After you select the "I sold or otherwise disposed of this property in 2017" you continue working it through "as if" you still own it. When you come to the summary screen you will enter all of your rental income and expenses, even it it's zero. Then you MUST work through the "Sale of Assets/Depreciation" section. You must work through each individual asset one at a time to report its disposition (in your case, all your rental assets were sold).

Understand that if more than the property itself is listed in your assets list, then you need to allocate your sales price across all of your assets.  You will only allocate the structure sales price; you will NOT allocate the land sales price, since the land is not a depreciable asset.  Then if you sold this rental at a gain, you must show a gain on all assets, even if that gain is $1. Likewise if you sold at a loss then you must show a loss on all assets, even if that loss is $1

Basically when working through an asset you select the option for "I stopped using this asset in 2017" and go from there. Note that you MUST do this for EACH AND EVERY asset listed.

When you finish working through everything listed in the assets section, if you ever at any time you owned this rental you claimed vehicle expenses, then you must also work through the vehicle section and show the disposition of the vehicle. Most likely, your vehicle disposition will be "removed for personal use", as I seriously doubt you sold your vehicle as a part of this rental sale.

I'm trying to navigate through TT Premier 2021.   What number do I put in the box that asks me the "Asset Sales Information"  Sales price??  What is the sales price of say furniture that was included in the condo sale?  I'm really confused here.   Please explain to a non-accounting person.  Thank you.

If you sold off the house and the contents (all in one sale)  then all the assets listed must be retired individually so you must divide the sales price and cost of sale accordingly.  

 

Remember back to third grade when you were taught about ratios (%) ???    Get a piece of paper and a calculator ( or excel on the computer )  and start doing the math  ... this way when the program asks for this info you will have it ...  this is just a simple example ... do what you need to suit your situation.

 

        BASIS                                             ratio of total           Sales price 100,000      Cost of sale  10,000

Cost basis of  home   50,000                83%                           83,000                              8,300

cost basis of  land        6,000                 10%                           10,000                              1,000

cost basis of contents  4,000                   7%                              7,000                                 700

total                               60,000               100%
