Can we back up a bit?  How was a building 3/4 depreciated in less than 10 years?  Unless there are unusual circumstances, something seems wrong.

Yes.

No, the "total gain" from the building on line 24 is $1,000,000.  However, the depreciation seems questionable, so that needs to be figured out first.

For the 1250 gain ... we need to clarify how they claimed $600,000 of depreciation in only 10 years.
