Using Turbo Tax 2020 I get the following results after the sale:

 

            Total Income: $65,600

            Taxable Income: $36,930

            Tax Due: $2700


 

You were eligible to claim depreciation while it was a rental.  That lowers your Basis.

 

So let's say you were eligible to claim $40,000 in depreciation.  Your Basis is now $293,000, and after the selling price your gain from the sale would be $56,000.

 

Your "total income" may also be from your Social Security.  Some of your Social Security may become taxable if you have enough 'other' income.
