Your rough figures are correct except on two counts.
There is no 15% tax bracket.
Then the depreciation would be taxed anywhere from 0% to a "maximum" of 25%. So if the gain on the sale puts your overall AGI in the 15% tax bracket, that's the highest rate depreciation will be recaptured at.
I also assume you understand how tax brackets work, and realize that your entire taxable income is not taxed at at set percentage rate.
Since you refer to "we" I assume you'll be filing a joint return for 2020. Therefore your income will be taxed as follows for a married couple filing joint.
10% | Up to $19,750 | |
12% | $19,751 to $80,250 | |
22% | $80,251 to $171,050 | |
24% | $171,051 to $326,600 | |
32% | $326,601 to $414,700 | |
35% | $414,701 to $622,050 | |
37% | Over $622,050 |
So you'll pay $1,975 on your first $19,750 of taxable income
You'll pay $7,260 on the next $60,499 of taxable income
You can use the chart to get a rough figure of your total tax based on your projected taxable income. Remember, because of the changes to the standard deduction, your first $24,600 of income is not taxed.
