First note that "residential" rental real estate assets do not qualify for SEC179. But they do qualify for the SDA (Special Depreciation Allowance). So perhaps you just stated "SEC 179" without realizing it.
Not really "differently" per-se. But it's recaptured. If you're reporting this sale in the SCH E section of the program, then the program takes care of all recapture for you.
If you're reporting the sale in the "Sale of Business Property" section, then (I think) the program will ask you for total SDA deductions separately, as well as separately ask for SEC 179 (where I would expect you to enter zero) because non-passive assets would qualify for the SEC179 deduction.
