Understanding Depreciation Recapture

  • Depreciation Recapture: Portion of gain taxed as ordinary income (up to 25% rate) rather than capital gains
  • Capital Gain: Gain in excess of depreciation recapture, typically taxed at capital gains rates (15-20%)
  • 1031 Exchange: Allows deferral of both depreciation recapture and capital gains when exchanging into like-kind property
