1.) Compute Real Property Recapture for this Corporate Taxpayer:

Property A Property B Property C
Year Acquired 1986 2002 2011
Cost $450,000 $250,000 $2,600,000
Selling Price (FMV) 600,000 185,000 2,560,000
Accumulated Depreciation:
Accelerated - 330,000 n/a n/a
Straight-Line - 255,000 136,500 105,000
Adjusted Basis 120,000 213,500 2,495,000

a) What is Realized Gain/(Loss)?

-- Property A=

-- Property B=

-- Property C=

b) What is amount of 1250 recapture?

-- Property A=

-- Property B=

-- Property C=

c) What is amount of 291 recapture?

-- Property A=

-- Property B=

-- Property C=

Notes:

* - Assume residential property - 1245 rules do not apply.

1 - S/L depreciation is "pro forma"

2.) Fill In Blanks (X)

Property A Property B Property C
Year Acquired 1986 2002 2011
Cost $ 450,000 $ 250,000 $ 2,600,000
Selling Price (FMV) 600,000 185,000 2,560,000
Accumulated Depreciation:
Accelerated - 330,000 n/a n/a
Straight-Line - 255,000 136,500 105,000
Adjusted Basis 120,000 213,500 2,495,000
Realized Gain/(Loss) 480,000 (28,500) 65,000
Recapture:
1250 - 75,000 2 X 3,4 X 4
291 - X X X
Pro-forma 1245 recapture:
(lesser of gain or all Acc. Depr.) 330,000 X 3 65,000
Less: 1250 recapture (75,000) X X
Excess = 255,000 X 65,000
Recapture Rate 20.00% 20.00% 20.00%
Additional 291 Recapture 51,000 X 13,000
Total Depreciation Recapture $126,000 X $13,000

Notes:

* - Assume residential property - 1245 rules do not apply.

1 - S/L depreciation is "pro forma"

2 - Lesser of realized gain or excess of accelerated over straight-line (partial recapture rule).

3 - No recapture if no realized gain.

4 - No 1250 recapture as property was depreciated using straight-line (no partial recapture).

3.) How should each taxpayer treat the following gains/losses?

No. Type Taxpayer A Taxpayer B Taxpayer C
1 LTCG 4,500 1,200 15,000
2 LTCL (6,000) (8,000) (6,000)
3 STCL - (1,200) (1,700)
4 STCG 1,000 1,250 1,000
5 1231 Gain - - 6,000
6 1231 Loss - - (2,200)
7 1245 Recapture 1,400 8,500
8 1250 Recapture 800 -
