We sold a rental townhome and had a gain on the sale as follows:
Original Purchase price = $181,000
depreciation = $100,000
Basis of property = $ 81,000
Selling price = $300,000
Gain on sale - $219,000
I though that $100,00 of this gain would be classified as section 1250 gain (recapturing the deprecation and $119,000 would be classifed at section 1231 gain.
However the K1 is showing $219,000 as section 1231 gain AND $100,000 of section 1250 gain. Is this not overstating the gain on the sale of the property?
What am i doing wrong in filling out the sale information on form 4979?

No, it is not overstating the gain.
Your total gain will continue to be $219,000 it is simply that $100,000 (recapture amount) of the total $219,000 gain is taxed differently (i.e., taxed at a maximum of 25%).
