need instructions for help form 8824

I have completed my taxes and turned into my CPA I am using TTAX premier to cross check.  I see posts about filling  out 8824.  Relq prop $303K sales price, gave up mortgage $113 K  Equity given= $190 K  Repl prop 328 k Purch price new Mort 160 K Equity rec'd =$168K   difference is 22k.   I keep on getting stuck when I get to the Interview after line 7 WS  line L asks for cash received the error message shows the difference between equity given and equity received do I just make the program happy and fill in the minimum amount ?  The instructions don't start until line N for the worksheet   same as the error message.  worksheet is a mess shows line n as selling expenses I am amortizing loan costs do they get added in there" what about closing costs on other end?  You think that TTAX would be getting better not worse 

 

 

I am using IRS method of  2 separate ws keeping the basis for the old basis and the second  asset WS is for the new prop iexcess basis should be  the difference between the  two mort  47K
