I have reviewed the data file and encountered the Review errors you noted prompting for completion of missing entries on California Form 3840.
I reviewed the California FTB's instructions for completing the form and did not find any instruction specifying that the entries flagged for review should not be completed for real property.
Please let us know where you are finding the conflicting instructions.
CA Form 3840 FTB Instructions
CA Form 3840
Form FTB 3840 must be filed for the taxable year of the exchange and for each subsequent taxable year, generally, until the California source deferred gain or loss is recognized. Attach form FTB 3840 to the California tax return, or file separately as a California information return if the taxpayer does not otherwise have a California filing requirement.
If the taxpayer does not otherwise have a California filing requirement, file Form 3840 separately as a California information return.
Sign and mail form FTB 3840 to:
