How to find out land value for depreciation
My parents used to live in their home, which was bought in 2009. They moved out and started using it as a rental property in June 2016. This is the first year I am doing taxes for this property. Prior years were done by CPAs. So In order to calculate the depreciation:
a. Should the cost of depreciation be the value the property bought in 2009?
b. If so how can I know the value of land in 2009? Is this available in the county's website?
thank you.
