My exchange agent says yes. My neighbor who is the tax partner at a firm says no. I'm still looking into that part.

Here's the deal.

If you swap depreciable property for other depreciable property, you don't have to deal with depreciation recapture.

If you swap depreciable property for non-depreciable property (such as land), then yes, you do need to deal with depreciation recapture.
