Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for the links. 

I essentially started again from scratch over the weekend and it seemed to work the 2nd time around. The program did properly recognize the like kind exchange and I'm now getting the proper refund instead of having to pay a large amount in capital gains taxes.

I believe my mistake was to tell Turbotax I was selling the 1st property when inputting data under Schedule E Rentals, Royalties, etc.  I noticed 2nd time around there was very small print on the screen indicating I should not show a sale in the Rents., Royalties section. I instead reported the like kind exchange under Sale of a Business as a Like Kind Exchange and it worked great.
