My client just closed on a 1031 exchange yesterday but, because the exchange hadn't been completed by 12/31/21, the agent sent a 1099 - S with the retail value of the property given up, rather than a zero. Is this a problem? How should I prepare the tax return? Should I include a statement to the IRS? I've never had this si
If they are/were still in the timeframe for the exchange, and it hasn't failed, and they did not disburse the funds, then there is nothing to report for 2021.
Okay, I reread this and I think I misunderstood. I meant they should not have issued that form unless the TP has access to the funds or a portion of the funds were/will be released from the exchange which has not failed.
Not knowing any of the details, I would refer you to a resource such as:
