I did do that. But when Turbo Tax would do the final review I kept getting an error on one of my forms. Can't recall what exact line or form it was but that's when I turned to the turbo tax Live folks and got frustrated. If I'd been able to see the entire form that TT was completing I probably could have seen where the issue was but it only shows the part of the form where they found the problem. But the TT support was even more frustrating than the software. To have to explain the issue several times to different people because they dropped the call is poor service. And their advice was "try this then call back if it doesn't work"- and when you call back you start with a new rep every time and have to explain the whole problem again. I think the live service would be more helpful if you could work with the same rep until the problem is resolved.
As I said, I found some upsides of claiming the income in 2021 instead of 22 so just decided to go that route and did not report as a 1031 as there was no need to do so. Wish I'd figured it out if only to justify the investment of time I spent on it. But thanks for your advice. I appreciate your interest in wanting to understand what the problem was and the time you take replying on the forum.
