Overview

The taxation of real estate can lead to some surprising results - especially when property is sold. Depreciation recapture can negatively impact a taxpayer’s taxable income in the year of the sale and lead to an unexpected tax bill.

We will then discuss when relief may be available for a taxpayer who may have forgotten to take depreciation deductions in previous tax years.
