Capital Gain / Depreciation Recapture Question JW 12-28-2009
Posted by JW on December 28, 2009, 2:15 pm


Hi,

Suppose I have a Capital Gain Tax loss of $11,000 and I have a Depreciation
Recapture Tax of $36,000 for the year I sell an Investment Property.
Is the combined tax liability for this year $36,000 - $11,000 = $25,000, or
$36,000 - $3,000 = $33,000?

In other words do I have to use the $3,000 maximum loss this year an roll
the remaining loss of $8,000 over to subsequent years or can I offset the
Recapture Tax with the full $11,000?

Thanks,
JW
