Investors & landlords

Hi there - this is an old thread but wondering if someone can answer.  I sold my previous residence which I  rented for the past 1.5 years (lived in it prior to that).  I have carryover loss from the rental. 

 

1. What happens to the carryover loss?  Someone mentioned in a thread I could use it offset 'other income' but not sure what that means (ie: 'ordinary income'?)

2. Do I pay depreciation recapture on the depreciation I took while it was rented? I thought so but was told from someone this would not apply in my situation since I sold a prior residence.  On a side note, the depreciation is roughly the same amount as my NOL (so I am wondering, if these would just cancel out somehow)

 

thanks for any feedback.
