Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct, you don't have depreciation recapture if you sell at a loss. Depreciation recapture is governed by sections 1245 and 1250, according to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Your loss is governed by IRC Section 1231.

 

See this TurboTax tips article for more information on selling at a loss.
