To enter a like-kind or Section 1031 exchange, follow these steps:
Open or continue your return.
Navigate to the like-kind section:
TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to like kind.
TurboTax Desktop: Search for like kind (two words, no dash) and select the Jump to link.
On the Any Other Property Sales? screen, select Any additional like-kind exchanges (section 1031) and select Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. We'll fill out Form 8824 for you.
If you accidentally generate a Form 8824 that you don't need, you can delete it by repeating steps 1 and 2. This takes you to the Like-Kind Exchanges summary screen where you can delete the unwanted form.
