It appears that my tenant now wants to buy my rental property in which she currently resides. I asked a bunch of questions in the Real Estate thread but I wanted to check with the tax thread as I prepare things for my tax situation. I just want to know if I am looking at this correctly.
https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/real-estate-and-landlording/case-study-selling-rental-to-current-tenant/If I were to sell the house on the last day of 2019 here is my depreciation:
GDS % Year 1 (2014) $2,541.98
GDS % Year 2 (2015) $3,210.36
GDS % Year 3 (2016) $3,210.36
GDS % Year 4 (2017) $3,210.36
GDS % Year 5 (2018) $3,210.36
GDS % Year 6 (2019) $3,210.36
Net Total: $18,593.78 The house was placed into service 1 Mar 2014 and above are the numbers I calculated from IRS Pub 527, Table 2-2d (2017 version).
But, I use Turbo Tax so I'm thinking I should be using my Form 4562, line 22 values, which are below.
Based on Form 4562, here would be my depreciation:
2014 $2,492.00
2015 $3,903.00
2016 $3,860.00
2017 $3,834.00
2018 $3,835.00
2019 $3,835.00 (Assuming same as 2018)
Net Total: $21,759.00Here are my calcs for my cost basis (towards the end I am using terminology from IRS Pub 523, Worksheet 2):
Initial Purchase $103,875
Appliances $5,513.64
New Cabinets/Counters $2,654.64
Carpet Install $400.00 (Can this be claimed as repairs?)
New HVAC $7,542.00
New Sliding Door $4,253.00
New Siding $12,229.00
New Bathroom $4,775.92
New Kitchen Tile $1,253.53
New Concrete $650.00
Here is where I set the house up to be a rental (Non-Use Begins) New Water Heater $668.34 (I depreciated this item, can I still call this an expense for my cost basis?)
Pre-Sale Repairs $0 (Calling this zero ATM but I have a space for repairs in my spreadsheet)
Cost Basis $143,815.07
Selling Expenses $3,750.00 (Expecting no more than 3% since I'm selling to my tenant. Commissions won't be over 3% if I use an agent for paperwork)
Sale Price $125,000.00 (This is my current guess of what we'll agree on)
Amount Realized $121,250.00
Basis Adjustments $18,593.78 (Recapturing depreciation - based on pub 527)
Adjusted Basis $125,221.29
Gain/(Loss) $(3,971.29)
Gain/(Loss) $(806.07) (If I use the line 22 numbers as the depreciation)
Does this look right so far? Am I missing anything or including the wrong things? I know I will have to do the actual worksheet 2 when I sell the house but I am just trying to make sure I am understanding things correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
