need help with a tax planning scenario for the first part, selling the building:
Lakes Processing (Partnership 2 owners) wants to sell an old building they no longer use for business. They are wondering if they would come out paying less tax by renting out the building or by selling the building. I have evaluated the situation and have calculated the tax impacts to the company. Missing the Land
Selling the Building
The building Lakes Processing is interested in selling was purchased for $653,250 10 years ago, which included 53,250 for the value of the land. So far, Lakes Processing has claimed $203,250 of depreciation expense for the building. Fair Market Value, which would be the expected price for the building with the land to sell at, is assessed at 505,200.
The land is subject to section 1231 with no depreciation recapture
Calculations
Purchase Price | 653,250 |
|
Less: land basis | -53,250 |
|
Less: depreciation expense | -203,250 |
|
Adjusted Basis |
| 396,750 |
Sale price | 505,200 |
|
Less: adjusted basis | -396,750 |
|
Realized Gain |
| 108,450 |
|
|

The 1231 gain will be taxed at the long-term capital gain rates (which are much lower).
the character of the gain is ALL section 1250 unrecaptured to an individual
the Land is a section 1231 gain or loss
HELP with the calculations for the gain of the building and the land. please also include tax rates for my reference.
***if something does not make sense, please provide an alternative scenario for this project. all numbers and situations can be altered.
