Bug Line 25 Form 8824.  When Form 8824 is used to report a partial 1031 Like-Kind exchange with the remainder of the sale using the Home Sale Exclusion worksheet; ProSeries correctly reports the home sale exclusion in the space above line 19 qualifying for the capital gains exclusion.  However what proSeries does, is incorrectly calculate Line 25.  IRS instructions say:  Subtract Line 15 from the sum of Lines 18 and 23. 

On my 8824 there is no entry on lines 15 and 23 and there are no errors in the return.  However ProSeries adds the amount from the Home Sales Exclusion to Line 18 basically doubling line 25 which is incorrect.  I tried overriding Line 25 to enter the correct calculation but the return would not pass the e-filing error check.  I was forced to file with the incorrect calculation and then after the returns were approved go back and override line 25.
