Sale of rental property, missed renovation basis, and additions before sale
Looking for guidance on reporting the sale of a former home converted to rental, and fixing a missed basis adjustment in TurboTax.
- Bought in 2001 for $350K (primary residence); converted to rental in 2014
- Total depreciation: ~$113K
- Missed adding $100K renovation (2020) to basis
- Added another $150K renovation before sale
- Sold in 2025 for $800K; rented ~6 months in 2025
Questions:
- How do I add the missed 2020 renovation to basis now?
- Amend prior returns or adjust in year of sale?
- How to handle depreciation for that missed improvement?
- What land value should I use?
- Best way to enter in TurboTax?
- Any impact from partial rental use in 2025?
Want to ensure basis, depreciation recapture, and gain are correct.
