Taxpayer and Spouse sell their primary residence in 2020 and meet the "Qualified Use" tests to exclude up to $500,000.00 of gain on sale of principle residence (2 of 5 years and ownership tests).
Within the 5 years, Residence had been and was a Rental property reporting on Schedule E Form 1040. Accumulated depreciation of $13,750.00 (roughly), when sold in 2020.
Gain on sale of "Home" was less than $200,000.00, 100% excluded.
Question: Depreciation "may be taxable as recaptured depreciation, ordinary income IF there is a gain on sale of property". Is this depreciation of $13,750.00 reported as "recaptured depreciation" on the Schedule E, treated as ordinary income? There is a gain from the sale of the residence but the gain is excluded for the purposes of Sale of Home. Is the recaptured depreciation also excluded?
