Was the condo strictly a rental or was there any personal use?
If there had been no personal use (zero), then have you been taking depreciation deductions since the condo was placed in service as a rental?
No personal use (zero is correct) and we depreciated the condo every year that we owned it.
In which tax year was the condo sold? 2022 or 2023? Have you been using TurboTax?
Regardless, you need to use TurboTax Premium for the 2023 tax year or you can use any desktop version of TurboTax (for 2022, online is closed and you need to use a desktop version).
You start by entering the condo in the Rental Properties and Royalties section of the program.
The condo was sold in April, 2023 and I have been using Turbo Tax the entire time I owned the Condo. I am trying to estimate how much I owe in Capital Gains tax so I can pay it now without incurring penalties.
Thanks for your help.
If you have a 2022 desktop version of TurboTax, you can do a what/if scenario to get an idea.
Note that you will have 10 years of depreciation recapture (Section 1250 gain) which is taxed at your ordinary income tax rate up to a maximum of 25%.
Also, if you pay 100% of the tax shown on your 2022 tax return (110% if your AGI for 2022 was more than $150,000 or $75,000 if your filing status for 2023 is married filing a separate return), then you will not incur a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax.

Here's the guidance for reporting the sale of rental property in the desktop version of TTX. Note the program (not you) will do all the match for you. But still, I would suggest you print out the worksheets to confirm everything is correct and as expected. So far, every time someone finds something wrong, it's because they made an incorrect selection or entered an incorrect figure. So the program does things corrected, based on the data and responses the user provides.
Reporting the Sale of Rental Property
If you qualify for the "lived in 2 of last 5 years" capital gains exclusion, then when prompted you WILL indicate that this sale DOES INCLUDE the sale of your main home. For AD MIL personnel who don't qualify because of PCS orders, select this option anyway, because you "MIGHT" qualify for at last a partial exclusion.
Start working through Rental & Royalty Income (SCH E) "AS IF" you did not sell the property. One of the screens near the start will have a selection on it for "I sold or otherwise disposed of this property in 2021". Select it. After you select the "I sold or otherwise disposed of this property in 2021" you continue working it through "as if" you still own it. When you come to the summary screen you will enter all of your rental income and expenses, even if it's zero. Then you MUST work through the "Sale of Property/Depreciation" section. You must work through each individual asset one at a time to report its disposition (in your case, all your rental assets were sold).
Understand that if more than the property itself is listed in your assets list, then you need to allocate your sales price across all of your assets. You will only allocate the structure sales price; you will NOT allocate the land sales price, since the land is not a depreciable asset. Then if you sold this rental at a gain, you must show a gain on all assets, even if that gain is $1 on some assets. Likewise, if you sold at a loss then you must show a loss on all assets, even if that loss is $1 on some assets.
Basically, when working through an asset you select the option for "I stopped using this asset in 2021" and go from there. Note that you MUST do this for EACH AND EVERY asset listed.
When you finish working through everything listed in the assets section, if you ever at any time you owned this rental you claimed vehicle expenses, then you must also work through the vehicle section and show the disposition of the vehicle. Most likely, your vehicle disposition will be "removed for personal use", as I seriously doubt you sold your vehicle as a part of this rental sale.
