Understanding Real Estate Taxation – Depreciation Issues and Recapture Provisions (LITX28/25)
Event Description
The taxation of real estate can lead to some surprising results – especially when property is sold. Depreciation recapture can negatively impact a taxpayer’s taxable income in the year of the sale and lead to an unexpected tax bill. In this course, we will use practical examples and illustrations to explore the different types of recapture provisions pertaining to real estate. We will then discuss when relief may be available for a taxpayer who may have forgotten to take depreciation deductions in previous tax years.
