The depreciation recapture is referring to all of the depreciation that you took on the house the entire time it was used for business.  So enter the total accumulated depreciation here.

Thank you. What about the recalculation using straight line method? There is box that asked for a number. Is this the remaining years depreciation, per year amount?

The number it asks for is the amount of depreciation you have already or should have claimed on the house. It doesn't care about the remaining years of depreciation.
