I can’t figure how to enter land in Section 1 and building in Section III. Turbo tax has already calculated in Part III based on total sales price not just the building and I know this is not correct. I have tried over and over to override but unable. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Go back to the Rental Property interview under Federal Taxes, Wages and Income, Rentals and Royalties. Edit the property in question. When you come to the assets, edit the property. When you originally entered the cost of the property, you split your cost basis into land and improvements . You do the same with the sale price,allocating by the same percent of total price. If you originally assigned 10% of the purchase price to land and the rest to the building, then use the same 10/90 split on the sale price and selling expenses.

I am experiencing the same problem as above, and have completed the split for my land and building, but Turbo Tax is still reflecting the building in Part I instead of Part III.
