What about recapturing of depreciation if you just rented a room (not a rental property)? Mother rented a room and the accountant depreciated the sqft of the rooms that were rented (so it wasn't a "rental property") It was her primary home (still is) The house is in a revocable trust, going to my wife (sole beneficiary) So when we go to sell the house once it's passed down in the trust to my wife. Will she had to pay the recapture of depreciation? Don't even have a clue what those numbers are. I just know they depreciated the sqft of the room when I came across some old returns. Thanks
