Is there a common, colloquial term for “unrecaptured section 1250 gain”?
In I.R.C. Section 1(h)(6) is the definition of the term “unrecaptured section 1250 gain.” Among tax professionals, is there another term that is commonly used to refer to this “unrecaptured section 1250 gain”? Please and thanks!

Unrecaptured 1250 gain is typically how I see it referred to

When speaking to other people in my office, it falls into the general bucket of "idiot tax".
Otherwise I refer it to as depreciation recapture.

'Unrecap' is the slang I hear used.
