My client sold 2 different properties in exchange for 2 other properties. Relinquished properties were vacant lots and new properties are also a vacant lot. Couple of question. 1. Do I need 2 8824s? 2. If I complete 8824 does it carry to 4797 automatically?

Properties relinquished were in Houston and new lots purchased were in another city.

this is my first time doing an 8824.

The location of the properties doesn't matter.  I would use a single 8824.  It shouldn't go to Form 4797, but straight to Schedule D (although if all the gain is deferred, it would not show up as income anywhere).
