Investors & landlords

I followed your directions for sale of my rental property, but not seem to be getting a higher income amount and thus higher tax liability.  I converted our property to a rental home and the FMV was $160,000 at the time, yet paid $305,000.  I did as you said to use the Sale of Business or Property, but I must be doing something wrong as the amount showng as income for 2020 is $315,290.  Basically the cost was $305,000 and depreciation was $50,270.  There were $20,125 in selling costs.   what are the section 179 and 1231 losses?  I think I'm not getting those right.  My gain should be $85,145 or there abouts
