Depreciation Recapture when selling mid year
I rented my home in CA for one year (mid-year 2017) so I took half a year's depreciation last year and "planned" on taking the other half this year. I have since decided to sell my home this year because the market in my area is so good. When doing 2018 taxes do I still claim depreciation for half a year only to recapture this year with the sale of the house. Doesn't make sense to me that I would do that; shouldn't it just be a wash for 2018. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
