We are getting ready to close escrow on a rental with long term capital gain and depreciation recapture. We expect to have considerably less ordinary income in 2019 than we have in 2018 due to retirement. Does the capital gain change how our ordinary income is taxed making it better to close escrow in 2019 since we will have lower income? I think in either case the capital gain will be at 15% for us but was wondering if it will bump our ordinary income tax bracket higher?
