It was not a sale of property and the rental section does not ask about an exchange. When going through the general property information, Do Any of These Situations Apply? Sold is the wrong answer for a 1031 exchange as the blue Learn More button will show. The easiest solution is to mark that you converted the property to personal use. Then you can use the correct number of days as a rental for depreciation. The correct amount of depreciation must be entered as part of the 8824. The goal is for the program to know you are no longer renting and did not sell the property.
Fair warning for the new rental:
There are two ways to handle depreciation after a 1031. Turbo Tax only handles one method, the single schedule depreciation. It is simple, you take your new adjusted basis, begin depreciation fresh on the new property based on the type of property. The new building could have different depreciation schedules.
