We bought a townhome in May 2011, used it as our primary residence until July 2016, and rented it out from July 2016 to August 2022. We claimed depreciation for the last 6 years. If I sell this property, can the gains be used to pay off the mortgage of my primary residence that I am planning to rent out as an investment property? Does this transaction qualify for a 1031 exchange? Additionally, what are the tax implications for the depreciation claimed on the rental property, and are there any capital gains deferral options like Opportunity Zone Funds (QOF) that I could consider?

I want to change my address. I am currently located in Walla Walla, Washington, I am 76 years old with no dependents, and I made roughly $38,000 plus sold a home in Idaho this year. I need to ensure my checks are sent to my bank in Walla Walla and need a copy of my IRS forms sent to my new address.
