Did you have any depreciation that needed to be recaptured? Did you write off an entire roof in 2013 so that you had more depreciation than you got out of the property? OR did you only take the depreciation for each year?

 

If you were writing off whole items and big numbers, then the excess that was written off is added back to the basis.

 

If you were taking just that year's amount of depreciation each year on each item, then there is no recapture.
