HOW TO RECORD SALE OF RENTAL PROPERTY ON FORM 4797

I split the gross sales amount and cost into Land and Building.  I recorded the sale of the land on Part I of

the 4797 and the sale of the building on Part III. The qualified dividends and capital gains tax worksheet

has $11,818(which is the correct tax amount) on line 24 of that worksheet but reduces the amount to 

$1069 on line 25.  I cannot figure out why this is happening.  HELP!

i always report a sale like this on the asset entry worksheet.. the program then populates the 4797, etc properly.

I tried that but couldn't get rid of the depreciation for the property(automatically plugged it in from previous years) without overriding it which then disallows e-filing

What do you mean "get rid of"?
