The answer
Start with the acquisition agreement and statement, legal and acquisition costs, land-and-building allocation, improvement invoices, annual rental statements, CCA schedules, use-change value evidence, ownership and residency history, sale agreement, commissions, legal fees, and other disposition costs. The qualified tax professional decides treatment; complete source records make that decision more reliable.
Calgary-specific context
Separate repairs from improvements and building from land. Reconcile claimed expenses and CCA to prior returns rather than rebuilding the file only from bank transactions after the listing is firm.
What to do next
Use the adjusted-cost-base guide and evidence board, then flag every missing invoice, historical value, CCA schedule, and transfer date before setting aside sale proceeds.
