Depreciation

Jun 29, 2010 3 Replies

I rented my condo 13 yrs ago and took some depreciation on my income tax return. Now I am selling the condo. Do you know how far back the IRS looks for depreciation?


From the day you bought it, and then put it into service as a rental. When you sell it, the recaptured depreciation has a favorable tax rate, but all the numbers have to add up.

What is the favorable tax rate?

A maximum of 25% (or your regular marginal rate, if lower) on capital gains of this type.
