Can I use the 1031 exchange for the sale of land for the down payment on a new house?  If so, I want to show this on the 1040 tax return.  How do I go about doing this in Pro Series?

New house is a rental? = yes.

Or, a primary (as in home of taxpayer..) residence? = no.

And the 'yes' answer presumes all ยง 1031 the necessary steps have been followed (45 days, 180 days, qualified intermediary, no mortgage forgiveness, etc).

Altho, some of the time lines have been extended due to COVID - check the details as related to your client's transaction.
