Where to enter sale of rental if was used as main residence prior to use as rental

I've searched this topic, and I see conflicting answers.  Some say to input this info under the rental properties and royalties section and others say to input it under sale of business property.  Here are the details of my situation:

 

Purchased as primary residence in  2005 for approx $236,000

Put in use as a rental property in 2007

Sold in 2021 for $338,000

Depreciation during time as rental = $56,071

Commissions/closing costs paid at time of purchase and sale = $27,500

 

My understanding is that I will be taxed as follows:

   Sale price           +338,000

   Purchase price   -236,000

   Comm/Closing   -27,500

   Difference           +74,500

 

I know that I am taxed on depreciation amount also, but not clear on how that is figured in.

I completed the estimated tax worksheet to prepay in September, which calculated that I would owe just over $14,000.   Now in TT, it is showing that I owe an additional $11,600.  Does this sound correct?
