Hi, I'm selling a rental property with a cost basis of 390K for 400K. I have PAL of 140K which I have not been able to deduct because of my income bracket. Of those 140K in PAL, 100K is cumulative depreciation and 40K are the expenses of running the rental: HOAs, legal fees, mortgage interest, property taxes, etc. I have never been able to deduct any of the expenses on this rental
If I understand correctly on how depreciation recapture works, I will have the following computation: 10K of profit on the sale + 100K of depreciation recapture - 140K of PAL = 30K of losses I can deduct on my 2022 tax return against capital gains or carry forward for another 15 years. In my case the depreciation recapture will be a "wash" because I have never benefited from it from a Tax point of view
Am I correct? This is a qualified sale so I should be able to deduct all the losses. Thanks
