Any depreciation you took on real property is recaptured at 25%. Depreciation you took on personal property is recaptured as ordinary income.

Hi All:
Have read some conflicting info, so am hoping for clarification! Here is the deal: I am selling a rental I have owned for 10 years (purchased for $35000 - sell price 80000). Assuming that I am in the 28% income tax bracket, what will my capital gains tax rate be?

Along the same lines, is the tax due at close or at the end of the year, along with regular tax return?

Finally, how does the fact that I have depreciated this property on my taxes each year figure into the senario?

Thanks for any help!

Not a CPA just from personal experience.

it would be long term cap gain at 15%, unless 1031’ed or or planning.

At end of the year unless you won’t have enough on tax paid in, then make an estimated tax payment.

read about Depreciation Recapture. That was the most consufusing aspect for me.
