Rental Depreciation

I have used turbotax premium for years to track my rental property.  In 2022 I did some capital improvements and added those and they appear on the 4562 and other forms along with the original house cost basis and depreciations.  For 2023 I started by uploading the prior year return, and it did pull in the capital improvements, but not the house cost basis, land, and prior depreciations.  I sold the house January 2023 so trying to calculate the gain, depreciation recapture, etc.  I could do this manually, but unsure why turbotax premier is not showing the house cost/depreciation.  This is the main reason I have paid for the premier version all this time so that it would track as opposed to manual entry.  Suggestions?

    Please clarify which version of TurboTax you are using - Online or Desktop? Windows or Mac? If Online, which browser(s) have you used to log into TurboTax?

    Have you tried importing your prior year return into a new current year return to see if the assets were transferred properly? Sometimes the transfer process can drop certain information, and the only way to retrieve it is to start a new return.

     

    Your other option is to enter the basis and depreciation information manually when you report the sale.
