Bought and then Sold vacant land put in improvements before selling, held 2 yrs. How do I write off my improvements or invested money in the property?

Bought & Sold vacant land held 2 yrs. I put some improvements into it before selling. How do I write off my improvements in the property? Turbotax wants to only know what I paid and what I received upon selling.

Entering the sale of vacant land.

 

  • On the page that says Enter Cost Information.
  • Under Original Cost Information. 
  • Include here your total basis in the property. (including improvements)
