Valuation of condo for stepped up basis

Opfor77
Level 4

T&S purchased residence for $300,000.  T died many years later.  S wants to rent residence.  At time of death, condo was valued at $1,120,000. For depreciation of a rental condo, is the $1,120,000 for the structure alone, or is there a portion of land value in there also?  Not sure if land comes into account with a condo, like it does with a house.

There is generally land with a condo. Check the property assessment for a land/building ratio. Or delve into that appraisal for 1.1 million. It's probably buried in there.

Is this in a community property state? If no, you don't get a full step up.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
