Challenges
- Investors who have owned and depreciated a property for many years are often surprised by how large the recapture liability has become
- Recapture is due even if the property sold for less than the original purchase price, as long as accumulated depreciation created a taxable gain on the depreciated portion
- Failing to plan for recapture can materially reduce the net proceeds available for a down payment on a replacement property
What we deliver
- A depreciation recapture estimate based on your property's cost basis and depreciation history
- A side by side comparison of a taxable sale versus a 1031 exchange, including recapture exposure
- Coordination notes for structuring your sale to defer recapture through a compliant exchange
