This is how that kind of recapture works:

 

  1. Calculate the total amount of depreciation you actually took (including the Section 179).
  2. Calculate the total amount of depreciation that you could have taken if you only used Straight-Line depreciation (no Section 179, Bonus depreciation, or accelerated depreciation).
  3. Take the result from #1 and subtract the result from #2.  That is the recapture amount.

 

I think that is reported in the "Sale of Business Property" section of TurboTax, but I don't remember how much guidance it give you.
