Investors and rental owners

Hello TurboTaxSusan,

 

Thank you for your reply and instructions, it's much appreciated. 

 

I was confused if this transaction can be declared for capital gains or it has to be declared as a business activity? To clarify, we bought the property in December 2021 and after renovating it, we sold it in August 2022. It was the first time we had this type of transaction. In the past, we renovated property and rented it out. Our main income is from rental properties but this one, in the end, we decided to sell.

 

I have followed your instructions to declare it as capital gains and selected capital gains profile for myself only (there's an option for my spouse but she wasn't an owner at any stage). However there is no option to add my friend, who was a co-owner of the property...

In Capital Gains, as well, there's no option to split the ownership of the property. Do I enter all of the values in halves? (Proceeds of disposition, adjusted cost base and outlays and expenses - all in 50% value?).

 

Finally, can I enter all costs of renovation plus legel fees in outlays and expenses? 

 

Best regards,
