What is the tax treatment difference between "depreciation recapture" and "depreciation unrecapture"?

kwyp
Level 3

 It is heard very often about a concept called "deprecation recapture". 

On K-1 form, there also has a line called "unrecaptured section 1250 gain".

What is the difference between the two?

Is there any tax treatment difference between the two as well?

Unrecaptured 1250 gain is taxed at a maximum rate of 25%. It  is gain on an asset sale up to the amount of depreciation claimed on that asset.

1250 - real property

1245 - personal property.
