I sold one of my 3 rentals in 2021 using a 1031 Tax Exchange, my time using a 1031. I am trying to file my taxes before the October deadline for my extension. When I edited the rental income section for the rental is sold I checked the box that said " I sold this rental". I now know that was a mistake because I used a 1031, which meant I did not sell it for 1031 purposes. When I checked that box a message popped up stating that I should delete the information about this rental since I sold it. There was no mention that by clicking "Done" I would delete this rental completely off my 2021 tax return, which is exactly what happened. I have owned this house since 2016. I am wondering if I need to start a brand new tax return now in order to fix my mistake so all of the rental information will still be there from past tax returns, or if this even matters?
