How Do I Calculate Section 1250 Recapture? Section 1250 is calculated as the lesser of two amounts. The first amount is the excess of accelerated depreciation claimed on real property over what would have been the allowable amount under a straight-line method. The second amount is the gain realized upon disposition.

When section 1231 property is sold at a gain, the amount in excess of the property's basis and depreciation receives capital gains treatment, which generally means lower tax rates, while the amount attributed to depreciation recapture is treated as ordinary income.

Do I Have to Pay Capital Gains Taxes Immediately? In most cases, you must pay the capital gains tax after you sell an asset. It may become fully due in the subsequent year tax return. In some cases, the IRS may require quarterly estimated tax payments.

First, Section 1231 losses can be used to reduce any type of income you may have—salary, bonus, self-employment income, capital gains, you name it. Second, you may have a net operating loss (NOL) if the Section 1231 loss is large enough to reduce your other income below zero.

Such gains are considered "tax-friendly" as they have traditionally enjoyed a favored status in the tax code. Net Section 1231 gains for the taxable year are treated as long-term capital gains, but a net Section 1231 loss is considered an ordinary loss.

Net Section 1231 gains for the taxable year are treated as long-term capital gains, but a net Section 1231 loss is considered an ordinary loss.

Federal long-term capital gains tax rates are based on adjusted gross income (AGI). The basic capital gains rates are 0%, 15%, and 20%, depending on your taxable income. The income thresholds for the capital gains tax rates are adjusted each year for inflation.

When gains exist from the sale of Section 1231 assets, gains will result in ordinary income to the extent of 1231 losses claimed by the given taxpayer in the previous five years. Any remaining gains left over will result in capital gain treatment.
