Investors & landlords

your cost basis is what you paid originally. in addition, you would add the cost of the generator if you capitalized it. if you expense it as a repair, it does not affect basis. for this example, I'll assume you capitalized it

you took depreciation of $135,300 through 12/31/2021. don't know whether this includes depreciation on the generator, it should if you capitalized it.  if it does total basis is as follows

original cost 202995

generator         3500

total cost      206495

depreciation 

2021           -135300

2022      -   unknown but depreciation is allowed for 2022 based on disposal date 2/18/2022

the net is your basis

 

sales price is  204000

 

gain is difference between sales price and basis which will show up on form 4797 and be treated as 1245 recapture

 

the payoff of the loan has no effect on the gain.
