Thank you very much!!! you resolved my problem. So you mean no matter I depreciate my rental home or not, when I sell the rental home, I still need to pay the tax for the depreciation value it SHOULD BE. For example, if I will sell my rental home now, I have to pay the tax for: Selling price - (the money I paid for the home-depreciation value each year * years) . Even though I didn't claim a penny of depreciation.
