It's tricky, you may want to have you taxes done professionally this year.

The term is "recapture" depreciation, not recoup. "Recoup" sounds like you expect to get a tax benefit. In actuality, recapture means you pay tax on the depreciation you claimed in the past, when you sell it. The entire capital gain is taxable. As you know, you not get any credit for having used it as a residence.
