If the transaction really WAS a §1031 exchange, just using Sch D won't defer the gain.

So, "technically" yes, you need to do the F 8824 in the year the exchange originated.

thank you, that is what i was thinking, eventhou technically second sale waived 1031 benefits

Just selling and buying another property in the same year isnt a 1031 exchange.  

If you have a true 1031, you should see some paperwork from the intermediary that handled the money for the exchange.

@Just-Lisa-Now- @abctax55 I think many taxpayers really do not understand the formalities, rules,  and complexities with this Exchange... They think they can just claim it and everything is okay...

@PATAX - I agree...but @SKukuryak is a tax professional right, since s/he is posting in a tax professional forum.  Correct???
