Investors & landlords
I suggest you assign each of those other assets a sales price of zero.
Wrong move. If you do that, then the depreciation on that asset will not be recaptured and taxed at the "ordinary" income tax rate. Instead, it will be included in the gain and taxed at the capital gains tax rate.
You need to allocate your sales price across all assets. Take special note that since you sold at a gain, you must show a gain on all assets. Doesn't matter if that gain is $1 on some assets, and $100,000 on other assets. The point is, that's the only way the program will properly and correctly recapture and tax depreciation at the "ordinary" income tax rate.
Note that showing a sales price of at least $1 over the original price paid (as shown in the COST box) is all it takes to ensure proper and full recapture and the correct taxation of depreciation.
When done, the sales price of all assets should add up to your total sales price.
