If you have a CA property that is part of a 1031 sale, then you do need to file a 540NR in the year of sale. That will include the 3840.
In subsequent years you would probably mail a 3840 as a separate form, since there is no requirement to file. I would probably just use the pdf version available on the ftb.ca.gov website.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
