What is the Proper way to input sale of rental property?

Hey all,

I have a client who qualifies for section 121 as she sold her rental home (she owned for 10 years and converted to rental the last three. 

I am not sure how to show this in the system as I have been getting conflicting info from other pros.

I have a sale of home worksheet and a schedule E for rental side of it.

i was told i would need to use form 4797 as well to show depreciation recapture but i am not quite sure how to do that without inputting all information again and it feels as if I'm creating a duplicate of the property.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I go to the depreciation schedule for the rental property and enter the General Disposition information then scroll down and answer questions in the Sale of a Home section.

If I remember correctly, ProSeries doesn't do it correctly. 

It is SUPPOSED to be reported on Form 4797, but ProSeries puts it on Form 8949/Schedule D.

The net results are the same, but it is reported on the wrong form.

My bad, I missed that you are a ProSeries user.  

I'm in Lacerte and it works pretty well there.

Sorry
