How do i correct over stated depreciation on sale of rental property

In 2004 I inherited 50% of rental property appraised at $1,275,000   (63% structure, 37% land) = $11,878 in depreciation. 

 

For whatever reason, I have been using a different value for depreciation:  $1,500,000 (70% structure 30% land) = $19,091 in depreciation.

 

We sold the rental property in July 23, 2019 for $1,999,999.

 

What do I need to do address my over deducted depreciation?  

Since I am recapturing the depreciation and paying tax on the larger accumulated depreciation, does it matter?  Or, do I owe some back taxes, interest, and penalties?
