Exchanging Depreciable Realty Subject to Depreciation Recapture
Recapture provisions supersede tax-free exchange rules. Thus, if you exchange a depreciable building placed in service before 1987, depreciation recapture may apply, so check the consequences of any recapture element. For example, if you exchange the building for land, the recaptured amount is fully taxable as ordinary income.
