Where can I edit the sale details (sales price, selling expenses) for a rental property that I've sold?

[daasen]

I must have entered the information at some point in the process, but now I want to go back and double-check as I don't think I had full details on selling expenses when I entered the info originally.

It depends. The sale of rental assets should be entered into each asset by allocating selling prices and expenses to the sale of the asset(s). 

• Open your TurboTax return > Search (upper right) > type rentals > click the Jump to ... link
• Edit beside the rental and review each asset for your sales information.

Example of arriving at the selling price and sales expenses for each asset in your rental activity.

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.

If you converted each asset to personal use and select 'Special Handling' you may have entered your sale using the steps below.
