Mary Jay Pls help to figure out how tax from sale is calculated
4 November 2025 | 17 replies
Quote from @Mary Jay: @Mary Jay While I can’t tell you exactly how much your tax will be, I can help clarify how the gain is generally calculated.When you sell a rental property, your taxable gain is based on the difference between your sale price and your adjusted basis; not on how much you owe on the mortgages.Your adjusted basis starts with your purchase price, plus certain closing costs (if they weren’t deducted previously), plus the cost of any capital improvements you’ve made over the years (like renovations or additions).The gain is your sale price minus that adjusted basis.From that gain, you’ll also have depreciation recapture, meaning the total depreciation you’ve taken (or should have taken) while the property was a rental is taxed separately.
