2,000
the program is asking how much deprecation TOTAL had been taken on that asset as of last year.
When you sell a business or rental item that has been depreciated, there are two types of income that can be generated from the sale:
Capital Gain (the amount you sell it for that is over the price you paid)
Depreciation Recapture (the amount of depreciation you "took" ((or could have taken)) that you now need to "give back"
Since you had a 2,000 asset that was completely depreciated, any proceeds you get if you sell it would be Ordinary Income.
If the asset was disposed of, there would be no value left to claim as an expense and no depreciation to recapture.
