You might actually have a gain. The payoff of any mortgage is not factored into the gain/loss calculation, but recaptured depreciation is.

if the rental property was sold at a loss. you are entitled to deduct the loss. I'am assuming the property was not ever your personal residence

A 1099-S was issued for the sale...you & the IRS both got one so it must be reported.
