To determine the adjusted basis of a home, certain costs and improvements are added to the original basis, while other expenses are not. Typically, items such as routine maintenance and repair costs are not added to the original basis. Instead, they are considered current expenses and do not enhance the value of the home or prolong its life. Thus, these costs would not contribute to the adjusted basis.
Twin sharing basis is a term that is used in the hotel industry. It means that the price is based on two people sharing a room rather than on single occupancy.
The basis of property purchased as the result of an involuntary conversion on which gain is not recognized is the cost of the replacement property less the amount of gain not recognized on the conversion. If qualifying replacement property is received as the result of an involuntary conversion, the replacement property's basis is the same as the basis of the involuntarily converted property decreased by any loss recognized on the conversion and any money received and not spent on qualifying replacement property. The basis is increased by any gain recognized on the conversion and any cost of acquiring the replacement property (Code Sec. 1033 (b) ¶ 29,640, ¶ 29,644).

Yes, casualty restoration can decrease the basis of a property for tax purposes. When a property is damaged and subsequently restored, the costs associated with the restoration may not be fully added to the property's basis, particularly if they are considered repairs rather than improvements. Additionally, if insurance proceeds are received for the damages, they can also affect the basis by reducing it. Therefore, careful accounting is essential to determine the impact on the property's basis.
You will never be able to take a loss for the decrease in value during the time it was a personal use property. At best, you'll be able to take a loss for any further decrease in value after you convert it to a rental property. It is very important that you get an appraisal at the time you convert it. If you sell it for a loss, your basis for determining a loss will be the lesser of the following two numbers: 1) The FMV of the property on day it was converted to rental use minus depreciation allowed or allowable. 2) The original adjusted basis of the property minus depreciation allowed or allowable. On the other hand, your basis for determining a gain will be the original adjusted basis minus depreciation allowed or allowable. If you have a gain use the loss basis and a loss using the gain basis, then your gain is considered to be zero.
If the fair market value of the gifted property on the date it was received is less than the donor's adjusted basis, the basis used to calculate a loss upon the sale of the property is the fair market value at the time of the gift. This means that if the property is sold for less than its fair market value, the loss is calculated using that lower value rather than the donor's higher adjusted basis. Conversely, if the property is sold for more than the fair market value but less than the donor's basis, the basis for gain calculation would still be the donor's adjusted basis.
