Investors & landlords

Hi, MoniKak1

I have a question about California 8824. Both of my 1031 exchange properties are located in California. After completing my federal tax return and starting My CA return, the 8824 form also shown up in the CA returns. When I tried to revisit the line " like-kind exchanges" in the "Investments" section of my CA return, a page show up asking me to " Enter the amount of gain required to be recognized as ordinary income (aka recapture amount), if applicable".

I spend more than 5 hours talked to 4 different "experts" in the TT support team, nobody give me an answer as what number to put there even though I went through my completed federal 8824 form line by line with each of them. Note that this question never show up in the federal 8824 questionary or form. It only shown up when the form was flow to CA return.

Please shine any light about what the TT is really asking and where to get that number or how to figure out what is the correct number to put there. I appreciate your time to help.

Thanks

Jerry
