Sole proprietory has a rental property it now converts to personal use (lives in it) What tax issues are involved on the conversion since depreciation was taken on the building portion and the property has increased in value

Someone will confer but,

no tax consequence until it is sold. when sold he will have recapture. 121 can still apply if he lives in it for more then 2 years but will not exclude the recapture.

Agree with Hadlin.

Nshnider (talk|edits) said:

what forms do you report the recapture on

Solomon (talk|edits) said:

It is 1250 unrecaptured gain on D which reduces the 121 exclusion.

agree with solomon but it isn't until he sells the property

The key word is 'unrecaptured gain' as Solomon wrote, not 'recapture' which is an incorrect use of a specific tax term.

UNLESS it was ยง1245 property; then 'recapture' is the correct term.

Yep, My mistake.

no problem, I knew you were looking at the issue, not the terms, I only wanted it correct for other viewers later.

As long as that depreciation was taken after 5/9/97, tax will be paid on it at sale.

what if some of the depreciation is pre 5/9/97 and some post?
