How do I recapture that depreciation
Assuming you used TurboTax to report your rental income/expenses in the past, and in the tax year of the sale, you report the sale in the SCH E section of the program, Then, the program will automatically take care of depreciation recapture "for you".
In the case where you only rented and depreciated a part of your residence, or if the property was not a rental in the tax year of sale, and therefore was not reported on SCH E, you will need both of the IRS Form 4562's that print in landscape format from the last year you did rent the property, so you can get your depreciation figures from those 4562's. Then you will report the sale in the "Sale of Home (Gain or Loss) section, under the Personal Income tab.
