It depends on whether the rental is in your tax return now. Based on your comments and question my answer will assume the assets are in your 2023 tax return.
The IRS requires that the selling price be proportionately prorated to arrive at a selling price for each 'piece' of a rental property since many assets can be placed in service at different times, such as your roof.
Yes, TurboTax is fully capable of reporting the sale of a rental property. Here are some tips that may be useful.
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.
