My client sold a rental property he has owned and depreciated since 2008. My question is, do I have to reduce the cost basis by the depreciation he has taken on the unit and improvements for the last 11 years? I believe he does but I am trying to find out if there are any deferrals of gain that are available to him. I assume the gain on the sale is all ordinary income. I believe I need to complete form 4797. Is this correct?
Thank you for your help?

What software are you using?
The program should handle all of the taxation of the sale. Unless the rental was sold in a 1031 Exchange, there is no deferring of any of the gain.
