Hello George4Tacks

Thanks for your answer.

We use Proseries and have further questions.  The instructions you gave are for Proseries or other software?  Also it says individual. Bit confused -  I am working on 1065 so can you please clarify when you say screen 17 - what is it?

Thanks

Your question appears in Lacerte Tax so George gave Lacerte instructions.

I asked question within Proseries software so not sure why it appears in Lacerte.

However, can you give general instruction - nothing specific to software as to where in 1065 one would defer gain since replacement property is not purchased yet as taxpayer has two years to get it and at the end of 2024 he doesn't know who property?

Thanks

If you decide to show the sale look at the Lacerte answer given for guidelines.

Enter the sale as a 4797 sale 

Enter the election (I found it here for ProSeries https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/partnership/reporting-irc-elections-proser... )

Hi

Read various notes and looks like in 1033 exchange, all goes on 4797.  For 2024 return it's negative amount on Line 5 and negative amount on line 16.  In accounting I debited gain and created a reserve in books so books match return.

Thanks for your help !!

Take Care
