Original basis $48151

Cannot get appraisal on date of death 9/2023, using replacement cost $201387 plus assessed land cost - $55,700 = $257087.

Need to amend 2023 for Step up basis

Do I adjust previous assets to 50% and continue with depreciation with original dates?  Add a new asset with home on date of death as 50%- $100694 and Land 50% - $27850 for 27.5 life years.

On 5/2024, house burned down, received from insurance $524000, sold land $120000 and paid private insurance adjuster $43,000

How to I handle a fire since it now is -0- basis plus insurance costs less private adjuster? Or do I use the basis of assets on tax return?

Use land cost of $27850 as basis and sold for $120000.  This was a separate sale.

This is a non-community property (CT) and individual tax return (1040)
