How to enter the unrecaptured section 1250 gain for my rental property sale?

I sold my rental home with a gain. I believe i entered everything correctly, but when i review the forms, there's nothing for unrecaptured 1250 section gain on form 4797. I believe it is incorrect. I should have a number there. But how do I calculate and  enter it in TurboTax?

How to enter the unrecaptured section 1250 gain for my rental property sale?

How did you enter the sale? Was it in the Rental section or in Sale of Business Property?

 

If you did it in the Rental section, the program should have picked up the depreciation. If you enter it as business property, you need to include the total depreciation, including 2020.

 

How to enter the unrecaptured section 1250 gain for my rental property sale?

I'm having the same issue.  I entered everything in the rental information; however, TurboTax is treating the gain all as capital.  I have approximately 15K of prior depreciation and would expect to be unrecaptured.  Do the options "didn't rent for the whole year" or entering rental days impact?  Also have the same issue for the improvements and 1245.
