Question

I am trying to enter my farmland that I rent out. Turbotax wants to make it a depreciable asset. Where do I enter it as non-depreciable?

    If you are setting this up as a rental (Schedule E) select "Land" for the What Type of Rental is This?" screen

    Continue through the rental profile,

    enter income and expenses

     

    There should not be a need to enter the land as an asset unless you intend to make improvements. Land does not depreciate so there would be no depreciation recapture to worry about when you sell the land. Capital Gain would be reported the same whether sold as a business or personal asset.
