California form 3840

Will Turbotax fill out California form 3840 based on the two 8824 forms as completed in my return?

Or do I have to fill out the form and add it to the California return so it can be filed with my return through Turbotax?

Or mail the California return?

 

Thank You

    @CEM05 & @will2020tax  TurboTax will complete form 3840 using the information you have already entered for the exchange in your federal return.  As always please review this information before filing.

    Same question here. I completed the forms necessary for the like-kind exchange on the federal portion. Now I see per the CA FTB website I need to file California form 3840. Won't Turbotax automatically complete this form for me?

    In 2021 I did a 1031 exchange of a rental property (from a property in California to a property in Georgia).

    I am doing my 2021 taxes, using TurboTax Home & Business.

    In my California state taxes: Turbotax generated form 8824 (california copy), but it did not generate form FTB 3840 ! I went through the final review and it's ready for filing. What should I do to create this form?
