Yes, you would enter it under Sale of Business Property. This should have been on Schedule E, not Schedule C. Schedule C is used if you provide services such as a motel or bed and breakfast.

 

I'm curious as to how you got the depreciation to be straight-line over27.5 years. If you took losses you were not entitled to, since rental property produces passive income, you should see a professional and file Form 3115.

 

Steps for Sale of Business Property

 

1) Wages and Income

2) Other Business Situations

3) Sale of Business Property

4) Other Property Sales

5) Select Sales of Business or Rental Property that you haven't already reported
