Can someone help me confirm that depreciation recapture on the sale of a rental property is being computed in Turbotax? I see no evidence that it is.

I sold a rental property in 2025. I meet the 2/5 year rule for having lived in it as a primary home, so we'll owe no capital gains tax. But, we took depreciation for 3 years, and that should be recaptured at sale. I downloaded the draft tax return doc before filing, and I don't see that captured anywhere.

You can look on the Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain Worksheet on line 12 to see the depreciation portion of the gain. It will flow to Schedule D, line 19.

That is helpful in terms of the depreciation recapture. Do i still need to prorate the gain in terms of its eligibility for the exclusion? I meet all of the tests.

The proportion of the gain related to the rental activity is calculated by TurboTax when you indicate that you used the property as a rental in the past. While the full amount of the depreciation recapture is taxable, only a portion of the gain will be taxed.
