My client got 1099-A for his investment property (foreclosure)

The property has been depreciated over two years. Do I have to file specific forms?

I am touching base on this subject again. If a person owns a rental property and later gets a 1099-A. Do I show a sale price of 0 and the total adjusted basis as a 1231 loss? Or do I use the FMV on the 1099-A and have that as the sales price.

Please keep me informed.

This is for a rental property.

The only reason that I can think of that you would ever show $0 as the sales price would be if 1) there was no mortgage outstanding (how'd it get foreclosed!?) or 2) the FMV is $0 (erm...)

There is a worksheet in Publication 4681 (table 1-1) that can walk you through the actual calculation to determine the sell price.
