Another CPA can correct me if wrong but I don't think there's going to be any recapture here.27.5 to me implies 1250 property and if acquired after 75' means no additional depreciation to recapture.I think there would be unrecaptured 1250 in the amount of the depreciation taken previously, max 25% at ordinary rates.The total gain less unrecaptured 1250 I believe would be 1231 capital gains, not considering other factors like look back and netting rules.Also the land would be 1231 and would get capital gains treatment.And personally I would subtract selling costs as a capitalized selling cost.Amount RealizedLess: Adjusted BasisRealized Gain/LossLess: Selling ExpensesRecognized Gain 1001I could be wrong though so correct me if so.Article for those interested:Depreciation recapture in the partnership context (thetaxadviser.com)While Sec. 1250 only requires additional depreciation to be recaptured as ordinary income, Sec. 1(h)(1)(E) subjects unrecaptured Sec. 1250 gain to a maximum tax rate of 25%.
