It’s not really a recapture, it is just that the portion of the gain which is attributable to your reduction in basis due to prior depreciation is taxed at a maximum of 25% instead of 20%.

Found a tri-plex owned by an elderly woman who wants out. In our conversation she is concerned about recapturing her depreciation for tax purposes. She lived on the first floor of this property since 1970’s I told her I thought that she would be exempt up to 250,000$ since it was her primary residence. Am I correct?
Also, when you recapture depreciation, does it only affect your tax basis? If not, then what else does it affect.
Any help will be appreciated.

The personal residence exemption from capital gains only applies to the portion of the property that was used as a personsl residence. Thus, the rest of the property is subject to depreciation recapture at 25%.

Isn’t there a difference between a “standard depreciation” and an “excelerated” one?
My tax guy told me there is no recature on a standard one.
