I am selling my 25% TIC interest in an apartment building that I acquired in
1993. I do not live in the building. The selling price exceeds the basis (and the original purchase price).
Do I understand that I am required to allocate a part of the sale price to personal property that I have been depreciating (carpets, refrigerator, stove)? If so, any suggestions as to how one determines the current value of a roomful of 3 year old carpet (and 2 year old carpet and 4 year old carpet) , as well as used appliances of various ages. I am talking small amounts here - my share of the cost of a refrigerator is $100, my share of the carpet in some of the units is $400. Looking for practical, rather than theoretical, advice.
Is the personal property what is termed Section 1245 property?
Thanks for your help.
