We purchased for $91,000 and have been using turbo tax for the depreciation schedules.

It depends on the amount of depreciation you have taken.

In general, the gain or loss on the sale of a rental property is sales price minus original cost plus depreciation taken (ex: $120,000 - $91,000 + $10,000 = $39,000 capital gain).

When you enter this in TurboTax, the program automatically calculates the gain or loss for you. See this post for more help: How do I report the Sale of Rental Property?
