Investors & landlords

Champ Carl,  thank you so much for your counsel.  I sold another condo 6 years and it automatically populated our "loss" bucket to offset all the gains and left some too.

Question:

  • What form are you suggesting.  I was using 4797.
  • Do I just subtract my loss bucket number from my gain?  The math on the form 4797 doesn't work that way.   It shows $398K sales price, $221K depreciation with cost basis of $414 with gain showing $205.  I have a loss bucket of $138K .  Where do I account for the loss bucket? 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.  VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
